Ugly as that short run in Denver was, Alexander has a nice track record in the majors overall. He carries a career 3.34 ERA, 17.5% strikeout rate and 8.8% walk rate in 325 2/3 innings.

For the Royals, there's no harm in adding another arm on a minor league deal. Their bullpen is in good shape this year, with a collective 2.93 ERA, fifth-best in the majors.

Raley had an impressive 2023 season, working to a 2.80 earned run average through 54 2/3 innings, recording three saves and 29 holds.
