Rays Give Brooks Raley A Two-Year Deal
                
        
        The Tampa Bay Rays signed left-hander Brooks  Raley to a two-year deal worth $10 million on Monday. The deal includes an option for a third season. Raley will give the Rays a much-needed left-handed bullpen arm after the team parted ways with Ryan  Sherriff, Cody  Reed, Adam  Conley and Dietrich  Enns in the last month. Raley had a 4.78 ERA but struck out 65 hitters and walked only 16 in 49 innings over 58 appearances for the Houston Astros last year, and he also had two saves. The southpaw had just a 21.5% hard-hit percentage, and left-handed hitters batted only .195/.262/.221 with 35 strikeouts, four walks and two extra-base hits in 85 plate appearances against him. The 33-year-old doesn't throw hard, but he finished with scoreless outings in 11 of his last 12 outings of the season and had a 1.93 ERA in 21 games after July 28.
