Despite limited appearances last season, Raley has demonstrated effectiveness when healthy, boasting a 153 ERA+ since 2022.

Additionally, the Atlanta Braves have signed former All-Star outfielder Garrett Cooper to a minor-league deal, aiming to bolster their roster as he seeks to bounce back from a disappointing performance since 2022.

In the meantime, the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs are showing interest in veteran left-handed reliever Brooks Raley, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery and is not expected to return until the second half of the season.

Top free agents Jack Flaherty and Anthony Santander are now open to short-term contracts with high average annual values, indicating a shift in their market approach.

Santander, ranked No. 15 among free agents, has not secured the long-term deal he initially sought, as teams are skeptical about his defensive and baserunning skills relative to his offensive output.

As Major League Baseball's offseason heats up, teams are gearing up for the upcoming season with less than a month remaining until pitchers and catchers report.

Flaherty, who is ranked as CBS Sports' No. 8 free agent, had a rebound season split between the Tigers and Dodgers, but teams remain cautious due to his inconsistent performance over the past three years.
