The Chicago White Sox have traded for right‑handed reliever Huascar Brazobán from the New York Mets, a source told ESPN late Sunday night. In return, the Mets will receive minor‑league pitchers Gabe Davis and Zach Franklin.

Brazobán, who is under team control through 2029, is in the midst of his best season, putting up a 2.61 ERA with 47 strikeouts and 22 walks in 51⅔ innings. He essentially replaces Seranthony Domínguez, whom the White Sox recently sent to the Seattle Mariners to offset the salary of veteran starter Luis Castillo.

The 36‑year‑old will slot into Chicago’s bullpen back end alongside ds. Grant Taylor, Sean Newcomb, Bryan Hudson and Jordan Hicks. Davis, a fifth‑round pick out of Oklahoma State, is ranked 18th by MLB.com in the White Sox system and has struggled at Double‑A, posting an 8.31 ERA in 10 starts. Franklin, 27, has a 4.37 ERA in 45⅓ innings in Triple‑A this season.

The Athletic first reported the trade.
