The Mets are trading reliever Huascar Brazobán to the Chicago White Sox, according to reports early Monday morning by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic and ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez.
New York is receiving right-handed pitchers Gabe Davis and Zach Franklin, per the reports. Davis is Chicago’s No. 18 overall prospect, as ranked by MLB Pipeline.

Davis, 22, was a fifth-round pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. The White Sox promoted him to Double-A Birmingham at the end of May after he started his 2026 season with a 2.63 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in eight starts for High-A Winston-Salem. Through 10 Double-A starts, he has an 8.31 ERA and 1.85 WHIP.
Franklin, 27, has spent the year with Triple-A Charlotte. In 33 games, he has a 1.13 WHIP, two holds and five saves in six opportunities.
Acquired by the Mets as part of a 2024 trade with the Miami Marlins, Brazobán carved out a nice role in New York. The 2026 season has been his best as a pro with the right-hander pitching to a 2.61 ERA with 47 strikeouts in 51.2 innings.
Brazobán also proved to be a versatile reliever for the Mets, starting six games this year in an opener role while also pitching in high-leverage spots late in games as well.
