3 Aug
Summary
- White Sox acquire reliever Huascar Brazobán from Mets.
- Brazobán offers versatility, pitching multiple innings and high-leverage situations.
- The pitcher is under team control through 2029.
The Chicago White Sox have significantly bolstered their bullpen by acquiring right-handed reliever Huascar Brazobán from the New York Mets. This trade, which also sent Double-A righty Gabe Davis and Triple-A righty Zach Franklin to the Mets, brings a highly versatile arm to Chicago.
Brazobán, 36, demonstrated impressive capabilities in 2026, becoming more platoon neutral and limiting opposing batters to a sub-.600 OPS. He showcased his ability to pitch multiple innings and perform in high-leverage situations for the Mets.
His performance saw a notable improvement in 2025, solidifying his role and earning him a trusted spot in the bullpen. After a strong World Baseball Classic and spring training, Brazobán became a dependable option for Chicago.
Importantly, Brazobán is not merely a temporary solution. Currently owed about $310,000 for the remainder of the season, he is under team control through 2029, providing long-term stability to the White Sox's pitching staff.
