Pirates Eyeing Mets Reliever Brazobán as Bullpen Upgrade
Pittsburgh showed interest in Huascar Brazobán before acquiring Camilo Doval, and may still pursue more bullpen help before the deadline.
The Pirates recently expressed interest in acquiring Mets reliever Huascar Brazobán, according to a report from the New York Post. The interest predates Pittsburgh's trade for Camilo Doval, but the team's bullpen remains a weak spot and GM Ben Cherington is expected to keep looking for upgrades. Brazobán carries a modest $1.05MM salary and is under team control through 2029, making him an affordable target for a payroll-conscious club. He has posted a 2.61 ERA in 51.2 innings this season, the best mark of his career.
