The specific amount has yet to be released but the reigning World Series champions add a big arm to their relief corps. Robertson worked to a 2.05 ERA across 40 appearances with the Mets last season but struggled upon a trade to the Miami Marlins at the deadline. The veteran owns a career 2.90 ERA with 175 saves across 793 appearances.

The veteran signed with the Mets on a one-year pact last winter and tossed a tidy 2.05 ERA for them in 40 appearances before being dealt to the Marlins. He struggled to the tune of a 5.06 ERA in 22 outings with the Marlins but could have an opportunity to bounce back with the reigning world champions in 2024.

Robertson has had a rough time in Miami after being acquired by the Marlins in late July. He has three blown saves and a 7.20 ERA in 10 appearances. Tanner Scott is the most likely candidate to get save chances going forward.

With a solid 2.89 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 9.5 K/9 on the season, Robertson continues to be a reliable option for fantasy managers in need of saves and strikeouts.

However, his five blown saves and 4.09 FIP indicate some potential volatility in his performance going forward.

Robertson needed just 18 pitches to retire the side, allowing no hits and issuing one walk while striking out two batters.

With this performance, Robertson now has a season line of 44 games played, a 2.63 ERA, and a 1.02 WHIP. He has recorded 16 saves, four blown saves, and seven holds so far this year, showcasing his ability to contribute in high-leverage situations.
