Key Points:
- The Mets traded right-handed reliever Huascar Brazobán to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for minor league pitchers Gabe Davis and Zach Franklin.
- Brazobán, who made his MLB debut at age 33 after a lengthy minor league and International League career, had strong seasons in 2025 and 2026 but was traded partly due to his age, as he will be 37 in 2027.
- Gabe Davis, Chicago’s 2025 fifth-round pick and ranked among their top 20 prospects, is a tall right-hander with a fastball reaching 100 mph and a powerful slider, though he has struggled after promotion to Double-A.
- Zach Franklin, an unranked relief prospect drafted in 2023, features a deceptive arm action and a mix of pitches including a splitter, slider-like breaking ball, sinker, and fastball; he has shown strikeout ability despite some struggles at Triple-A.
