MLB News: Brooks Raley Reportedly Eyed by Yankees, Cubs amid Multiyear Contract Talks
Veteran relief pitcher Brooks Raley is garnering interest in free agency and could sign a multiyear contract, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon.
Rosenthal and Sammon reported the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs have both "checked in" with Raley's representatives.
The southpaw is all but assured of missing at least a portion of the 2025 MLB season. He underwent Tommy John surgery in May, and the recovery period from the procedure extends for a year or more. Per The Athletic, Raley is hopeful of getting back on the mound by July.
