Report: White Sox get Huascar Brazobán from Mets

Huascar Brazobán

NYM Relief Pitcher #43

Player Stats

The White Sox are acquiring Huascar Brazobán from Mets for right-handers Gabe Davis and RHP Zach Franklin, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.

Brazobán essentially replaces Seratnhony Domínguez after his salary was sent off to help even things up in the Luis Castillo trade. The 36-year-old had a 2.56 ERA and a 49/23 K/BB in 52 2/3 innings while often working in the sixth and seventh for the Mets. He’s under control for three more years after this one, though age might catch up to him before he reaches free agency. In return, the Mets will get Davis, the White Sox’s fifth-round pick last year, who currently has an 8.31 ERA in 10 starts since moving up to Double-A, and Franklin, a 27-year-old reliever with a 4.37 ERA and 60 strikeouts in 45 1/3 innings in Triple-A.

The Mets intend to have Huascar Brazobán start Sunday’s game against the Padres.

Sean Manaea will likely again function as a bulk guy after doing a great job Monday against the Mariners. Brazobán thus far has allowed four runs over six innings in five appearances as an opener.
Jonah Tong

NYM Starting Pitcher #21

Jonah Tong will make a bulk relief appearance on Wednesday against the Reds.

Tong will take the ball after opener Huascar Brazobán on Wednesday night at Citi Field. The 22-year-old top prospect tossed three hitless innings with a pair of strikeouts in his season debut against the Marlins last Friday. There’s some clear streaming appeal in deeper mixed leagues based on his strikeout upside, especially against a Reds lineup that has been fairly pedestrian this season.

Mets agreed to terms with RHP Huascar Brazobán on a one-year, $1.05 million contract.

Brazobán is 36, but he was only eligible for arbitration for the first time as a Super Two player. Despite spending some time in the minors, he had a 3.57 ERA in 63 innings for the Mets last season. He still has one option year left, so he could bounce back and forth again.

Mets recalled RHP Huascar Brazobán from Triple-A Syracuse.

With Reed Garrett on the IL and Sean Manaea out on paternity, the Mets needed another bullpen arm. They’ll turn to Brazobán, who has a 3.67 ERA in 56 1/3 innings out of the Mets bullpen this season.

Mets optioned RHP Huascar Brazobán to Triple-A Syracuse.

Brazobán heads back to the minors as New York continues to re-shuffle its bullpen mix. The 35-year-old righty has posted a respectable 3.67 ERA across 56 1/3 innings over 47 appearances at the highest level this season.

Mets optioned RHP Huascar Brazobán to Triple-A Syracuse.

Brazoban underwent an MRI on Wednesday that didn’t reveal any structural damage in his oblique area, so the Mets have officially shipped him back to the minors to bring in a fresh arm.

Huascar Brazobán is undergoing an MRI on his oblique/side prior to Wednesday’s game against the Phillies.

Brazobán is going to be off the roster regardless of the results of the imaging; the Mets have already recalled Kevin Herget to take his spot on the roster. The question is whether it’s an option to Syracuse of a 15-day injured list sint, and that will be determined in large part by that testing.

Mets recalled RHP Huascar Brazobán from Triple-A Syracuse.

Brazobán returns to New York’s relief mix with Frankie Montas hitting the shelf with a UCL injury. The 35-year-old righty has posted a serviceable 3.83 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 51/26 K/BB ratio across 51 2/3 innings (44 appearances, three starts).

Mets optioned RHP Huascar Brazobán to Triple-A Syracuse.

Brazobán heads back to the minors after recording only two outs during Monday’s relief appearance against the Padres. The 35-year-old righty has pitched well this season overall with a respectable 3.83 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 51/26 K/BB ratio across 51 2/3 innings (44 appearances, three starts). He’ll likely return at some point in August.

Cubs acquired RHP Kevin Gausman from the Blue Jays for OF Brett Bateman and INF Ty Southisene.

Gausman departs Toronto with just a couple of months to go on the five-year, $110 million contract he signed as a free agent prior to the 2022 season. He’s posted a 4.38 ERA this season, but his strikeout rate has held steady at 23.5 percent and he has a 3.85 xERA and a 3.95 SIERA. He’s also about as reliable as pitchers come, which is pretty important given the state of the Cubs rotation. Colin Rea could get bumped to the pen to make room for him. The Jays will likely replace him with Jameson Taillon, who they acquired from the Cubs in a separate deal earlier in the day.

Blue Jays acquired OF Brett Bateman and INF Ty Southisene from the Cubs for RHP Kevin Gausman.

The Jays have been prioritizing contact over strikeouts these last couple of years, and their prospects of choice here continue the trend. Bateman isn’t quite as skilled at making contact as Southisene, but at least he does offer doubles power with his lefty bat. The 24-year-old was hitting .312/.431/.422 with three homers and 20 steals for Triple-A Iowa this year. As a capable center fielder, he should fit in nicely as a bench bat. The Jays might be inclined to give him a look in the near future if they move Daulton Varsho before the deadline.

Shortstop Ty Southisene was sent from the Cubs to the Blue Jays in the Kevin Gausman deal.

Southisene, a fourth-rounder in 2024, was hitting .311/.431/.378 with no homers and 31 steals in 314 plate appearances between Low-A and High-A this year. The 21-year-old might need to move to second base at some point and he’s never going to develop much power, but the on-base skills are very impressive and could make him at least a bench guy in the majors.

BOS Designated Hitter #7

Masataka Yoshida went 2-for-4 with a homer and a walk as the Red Sox downed the Dodgers 8-4 on Sunday Night Baseball to complete a three-game sweep in Los Angeles.

Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu and Yoshida all homered off Emmet Sheehan in a four-batter span in the third to give the Red Sox a 5-3 lead. Yoshida’s homer was his fifth of the year, with four of those coming in his last 24 games, and he’s hitting .264/.341/.388 in 255 plate appearances overall. It looked like he might lose some playing time when the Red Sox acquired Curtis Mead, and that still could be a danger if the Red Sox try to add offense again prior to Monday’s deadline.

Jake Bennett allowed three runs over 5 2/3 innings in defeating the Dodgers on Sunday night.

All of the runs came in the third after a Teoscar Hernández grounder that really should have been handled rolled through the infield. There was also a very debatable intentional walk to Shohei Ohtani that preceded a two-run single from Andy Pages. Fortunately, the Boston offense picked Bennett up afterwards. He’s 7-4 with a 2.90 ERA ahead of a favorable home start next weekend against the A’s.

Garrett Whitlock pitched a hitless ninth with a four-run lead to finish off the Dodgers on Sunday night.

It was a surprise not to see Whitlock involved in Saturday’s win, but interim manager Chad Tracy said today that he was giving his “beat up” setup man some extra time off after a very busy July. Whitlock would have closed tonight with Aroldis Chapman having pitched three of the previous four days, but he missed out on the save after the Red Sox upped their lead from two runs to four in the eighth. Whitlock’s arm seemed fine tonight, as he topped out at 97.1 mph. His two sliders averaged 87.3 mph, which is 1.4 mph better than his season average.

Emmet Sheehan lasted just 2 2/3 innings and gave up five runs Sunday night in a loss to the Red Sox.

Sheehan allowed two runs on a walk and three singles in the first and then gave up three solo homers in a seven-pitch span in the third. He hadn’t allowed three homers in any of his 19 previous starts. Sheehan fell to 4-8 with a 5.29 ERA. The Dodgers have lost his last five starts and nine of his last 10, which seems nearly impossible. With Tarik Skubal’s addition and Blake Snell nearing a return, Sheehan’s time in the Dodgers rotation should be about to come to an end. He could be more helpful to the team’s cause out of the pen.

Braves acquired RHP Tyler Mahle from the Giants for RHP Anthony Molina.

The Braves are really just taking on salary here, which in Mahle’s case is about $3 million, and they’re getting guy who has usually been pretty solid when healthy. Mahle has a 5.13 ERA this year, but he’s been better than that lately, posting a 3.79 ERA in his last seven starts. He’s actually throwing a little harder and has a higher strikeout rate (22 percent) than he did last year, when he had a 2.18 ERA in 16 starts for the Rangers. He’ll go into the injured Reynaldo López’s rotation spot for now. He’s still probably just an NL-only guy for fantasy purposes.
