Hunter Martin / Getty ImagesAug. 3, 2026 Updated 11:22 am EDTThe Phillies revamped their bullpen via two trades made in quick succession Monday morning, acquiring lefty Brooks Raley from the New York Mets and righty Caleb Kilian from the San Francisco Giants, the latter part of a four-player deal highlighted by Luis Arraez. The trades were confirmed by league sources speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss transactions that were not yet official.Philadelphia’s bullpen has run on fumes in recent weeks, blowing three saves during last week’s road trip to Miami and Baltimore. In July, Phillies’ relievers produced a 6.13 ERA — second-worst in MLB — and walked 11.5 percent of batters faced — also second-worst in the majors. The bridge to closer Jhoan Duran has consistently been shaky, worsened by Brad Keller’s season-ending ulnar collateral ligament surgery and Orion Kerkering’s recent command struggles.Raley is a proven high-leverage option. Despite his age, the 38-year-old has demonstrated consistency since returning from Tommy John surgery last July. Last season, Raley posted a 2.45 ERA in 30 games (25 2/3 innings). Raley’s numbers remain strong in 2026, even if his command hasn’t looked as sharp at times. He has worked back-to-back days a handful of times this season, though the Mets often followed those occasions with a few days of rest.Raley, who will be a free agent this winter, is owed $1.4 million after Aug. 3.For his career, Raley has held left-handed batters to a sub-.600 OPS. Right-handed batters have fared better against him this season compared to the last couple of years, but he generally holds his own against them. Raley throws his sweeper, cutter and sinker to both right-handed and left-handed batters. He has not pitched in the postseason since 2022 when he was with the Tampa Bay Rays.Kilian, 29, is an enticing bullpen addition for the Phillies. He had eight career games in the majors before this season and spent an injury-riddled 2025 in the minors. But he is throwing harder than ever, averaging 97 mph with a fastball that has held opponents to a .296 slugging percentage. He has a 27 percent strikeout rate with a few too many walks, but he fits in the middle of the Phillies’ bullpen. He has five years of club control remaining.This story will be updated.
