On August 3, 2026, the New York Mets confirmed the trades of relief pitchers Luke Weaver and Huascar Brazoban ahead of the MLB trade deadline. Weaver has performed well in the Mets' bullpen this season, allowing only one earned run since May, while Brazoban is having a career-best year and is under team control until 2029. Mets president David Stearns stated that the organization had extensive discussions about the moves, deciding that the returns justified the trades. Brazoban was sent to the White Sox in exchange for two mid-tier pitching prospects, and Weaver was traded to the Pirates for potential top-10 prospect Sammy Stafura. Looking ahead, Stearns mentioned the need to acquire relievers in the offseason to strengthen the bullpen for future seasons.
