Huascar Brazoban doesn’t reach free agency until the 2029 season concludes. Already 36-years-old, the Mets may be looking to move Brazoban before his 37th birthday candle is lit.
For New York, a team that has been playing sub .500 ball all season long, may see the upcoming trade deadline as an opportunity to part ways with the reliever and get a new arm. Any possible trade involving Brazoban lifts the worry of the Mets worrying about him possibly burning out. Nonetheless, the Dominican has been a big part of the Mets bullpen and its overall success.
In 33 innings into his 2026 campaign, Brazoban has a low ERA of 2.18 through 28 appearances that includes 6 spot starts. A 3-1 record is accompanied by a beautiful 1.030 WHIP, allowing him to showcase his winning-efforts in form of a 1.1 pWAR.
Overall, in his five-year career in the Majors, which includes the past three with New York, Brazoban has been an average arm. In 238.1 innings, he sports a 3.51 career ERA from 196 games. Brazoban carries an opponent batting average of .217 with a 23.7 K%.
Brazoban is a low-cost reliever who is willing to take on a variety of roles, making him valuable for any team looking to add a hurler at the deadline.
