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.

White Sox placed RHP Huáscar Brazoban on the 15-day injured list with a left lat strain.

Brazoban suffered the injury during a relief appearance against the Rangers on Monday. The 36-year-old hits the shelf after making 10 appearances for the White Sox after coming over from the Mets at the trade deadline. No word yet regarding how much time he’ll miss, but lat strains are typically measured in weeks and months, not days.
Gabe Davis

NYM Starting Pitcher

Mets acquired RHPs Gabe Davis and Zach Franklin from the White Sox in exchange for RHP Huascar Brazobán.

This is fun because Davis went to Oklahoma State, where he was teammates with young Mets stars Nolan McLean and Carson Benge. Davis is a huge human being at 6'9", 235 pounds, but he has struggled at Double-A this season. He can hit Triple-A digits with his fastball and has flashed a plus slider as well. He’s a pretty interesting ball of clay for the Mets pitching development team to work with.
Zach Franklin

NYM Relief Pitcher

Mets acquired RHPs Zach Franklin and Gabe Davis from the White Sox in exchange for RHP Huascar Brazobán.

Franklin is 27 years old and has pitched to a 4.37 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 60/14 K/BB ratio in 45 1/3 innings at Triple-A this season. The strikeout stuff is there, and he doesn’t have poor command, but he has really struggled with home runs, posting a 2.18 HR/FB that is skewing his ERA. Those home run issues have not been prevalent at the lower levels, so the Mets are banking on it not carrying over to the big leagues. He’s an interesting gamble for the bullpen.

White Sox acquired RHP Huascar Brazobán from the Mets in exchange for RHPs Gabe Davis and Zach Franklin

This move was reported last night and is now official. Brazobán had been pitching in the middle innings for the Mets while posting a 2.56 ERA and a 49/23 K/BB in 52 2/3 innings. He will be a nice, reliable piece for the White Sox bullpen.
Huascar Brazobán

NYM Relief Pitcher #43

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.
Huascar Brazobán

NYM Relief Pitcher #43

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.

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.

Kyle Isbel went 2-for-3 and scored a pair of runs as the Royals triumphed over the visiting Marlins on Thursday evening.

Isbel smacked a one-out single off of Sandy Alcantara in the third inning and raced around to score on Carter Jensen’s RBI triple. He then singled with one out in the fifth and rode home on Isbel’s two-run homer. The 29-year-old outfielder remains an uninspiring option for fantasy purposes, slashing .235/.282/.354 with six homers, 24 RBI and six stolen bases in 269 plate appearances on the season.

Michael Wacha logged a quality start during Thursday’s victory over the Marlins, surrendering three runs on six hits over his six innings of work.

Wacha struck out seven batters on the evening while issuing a pair of free passes. Most of the damage done against him came via the long ball, with Heriberto Hernandez belting a solo home run in the opening inning and Agustín Ramírez adding one of his own in the fourth. The 35-year-old hurler generated a whopping 20 swings and misses on 96 pitches on the night — seven each on his fastball and changeup — while posting a strong CSW of 33 percent. Now 9-8 on the season, he’ll carry a strong 3.36 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a 143/44 K/BB ratio (176 2/3 innings) into Tuesday’s tilt against the Diamondbacks.

Agustín Ramírez went 1-for-4 and swatted a solo home run as the Marlins fell to the Royals on Thursday evening in Kansas City.

The 24-year-old backstop got the start as the Marlins’ designated hitter in this one and didn’t disappoint, clubbing a 426-foot (108.3-mph EV) solo shot on a first-pitch cutter from Michael Wacha in the fourth inning. He’s now hitting .230/.325/.339 with three homers, 18 RBI and four stolen bases in 200 plate appearances with the Marlins on the season.

Sandy Alcantara wasn’t at his best in Thursday night’s loss to the Royals, surrendering four runs on six hits over six frames.

Alcantara struck out two batters in the contest while walking one. Carter Jensen was responsible for most of the damage done against him, with an RBI triple in the third inning and a two-run blast in the fifth. The 30-year-old righty got eight whiffs on 98 pitches on the evening, posting a miserable CSW of only 20 percent. He’ll bring a 13-9 record, 3.54 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and a 142/51 K/BB ratio (195 2/3 innings) into Tuesday’s battle against the Mets.

Pete Crow-Armstrong blasted a two-run homer on Thursday night, powering the Cubs to a 2-1 victory over the Brewers.

The 24-year-old budding superstar tagged Brewers’ right-hander Logan Henderson for a 413-foot (104.3-mph EV) two-run shot in the third inning that gave the Cubs an early 2-0 advantage that they would never relinquish. That would be his only hit in four at-bats on the night. He has been absolutely sizzling at the plate over the past few weeks and has surged past Shohei Ohtani as the favorite to take home National League MVP honors — slashing .280/.375/.571 with 39 homers, 93 RBI and 32 stolen bases in what has been a spectacular all-around campaign.

Ryan Rolison slammed the door on the Brewers on Thursday evening, protecting a one-run lead to earn his second save of the season.

With Daniel Palencia unavailable on Thursday night, Rolison was called upon to protect the slimmest of leads with a pair of left-handers scheduled to bat in the ninth inning. He made it look easy, getting Jake Bauers and Andrew Vaughn on comebackers to the mound before retiring Christian Yelich on a bouncer to second to end the game. The 29-year-old southpaw holds a 2.93 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and a 49/24 K/BB ratio over 55 1/3 innings in 51 appearances for the Cubs this season while notching seven victories and a pair of saves.

Kevin Gausman was outstanding during Thursday night’s victory over the Brewers, piling up nine strikeouts over seven innings of one-run baseball.

The 35-year-old right-hander scattered five hits on the night while issuing just one free pass. The only run scored against him came on a solo shot off the bat of Andrew Vaughn with two outs in the fourth inning. Aside from that, Gausman was in complete control. He got 14 whiffs on 103 offerings in the ballgame, registering a strong CSW of 34 percent. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling as he carries a 4.38 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 165/44 K/BB ratio (162 1/3 innings) into a tough matchup against Jacob Misiorowski and these Brewers in Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Henderson racked up seven strikeouts on the night and didn’t allow a base on balls. The lone blemish on his day came on a two-run blast off the bat of Pete Crow-Armstrong in the third inning. Unfortunately, that was enough to do him in. Henderson got 13 swings and misses on 102 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 27 percent. Now 9-3 on the season, he’ll carry a brilliant 2.48 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and a 93/14 K/BB ratio (83 1/3 innings) into a rematch against the Cubs at home on Wednesday.
