2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Mets leaned on Robertson's experience in the ninth inning after closer Edwin Diaz went down during the World Baseball Classic. The veteran reliever was outstanding for New York, compiling a 2.05 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over 44 innings, with 14 saves, seven holds and four wins. His strong first-half was attractive to playoff-contending clubs and he landed in Miami via mid-season trade. However, Robertson's performance fell off with his new team and he was removed from closing duties after blowing three of seven save opportunities with the Marlins. The veteran still finished the year with 18 saves, 10 holds and solid ratios, so it's clear he can still be effective with his arsenal. That said, with Robertson's age-39 season upcoming, the free-agent's market may be somewhat limited. Read Past Outlooks
Blows save Wednesday
Robertson gave up a run on two hits and a walk over 1.1 innings Wednesday, getting charged with his second blown save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Tigers. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
The veteran right-hander entered the game with one on and one out in the seventh inning to protect a 4-3 lead, and while he escaped that small jam, Robertson couldn't stop Detroit from tying things up in the bottom of the eighth. It's only the second run he's allowed this season, and the 39-year-old has been busy to begin the year, posting a 1.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB through 10.2 innings. Despite those strong ratios, he's 0-for-2 in converting save chances while adding a win and six holds in his 10 appearances, while Kirby Yates seems to be strengthening his grip on the closer role for Texas.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Rangers showing interest
Robertson is receiving interest from the Rangers, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Robertson's market has seemingly been quiet, but it should pick up now that some of the marquee free-agent relievers are off the board. The 38-year-old posted a 3.03 ERA and 78:25 K:BB over 65.1 frames for the Mets and Marlins in 2023. He would be in the late-inning mix for the Rangers and could even be a threat to incumbent closer Jose Leclerc.

After pitching just 18.2 major league innings between 2019-2021, Robertson signed a 1-year pact with the Cubs prior to last season. The veteran was the most experienced option in a shallow pen and quickly re-established himself in high leverage, serving as Chicago's closer for the first four months of 2022. After an excellent first half, Robertson was shipped to Philadelphia, who deployed him within a committee as the second option for saves. He wasn't as sharp with his new team and lost his command to finish with one of the worst walk rates among qualified relievers at 13.3%. On the plus side, Robertson put up 63.2 innings - his most since 2018 - and 20 saves. Robertson is destined for setup duty after signing with the Mets, although he would be the likely next-man up if Edwin Diaz gets injured.
