Huascar Brazobán’s Mets tenure was undeniably a highly successful one. Acquired for a pittance at the 2024 deadline from the Marlins ($10 for you if you can name the prospect the Mets gave up in that deal without looking it…
Writer Lukas Vlahos argues that trading relief pitcher Huascar Brazoban to the Chicago White Sox was the right move and produced significant value for the New York Mets. Acquired cheaply from the Marlins in 2024, the 36-year-old posted a 3.45 ERA over 135.2 innings in New York, including a 2.56 ERA in early 2026 before being traded at the deadline.
Vlahos notes that Brazoban's early-season success was unsustainable due to an unusually low BABIP, as demonstrated by his subsequent 4.40 ERA in Chicago. In return, the Mets acquired promising pitching prospects Gabe Davis and Zach Franklin, whom the writer expects to contribute at the major league level by 2027.
