The White Sox are trading reliever Bryan Hudson<\/a> to the Mets, first reported by Joel Sherman of the New York Post<\/a>. It\u2019s a cash deal. Chicago designated the lefty for assignment last week to make room for outfielder Austin Hays<\/a>. New York placed right-hander Reed Garrett<\/a> on the 60-day IL in a corresponding move. The Mets have officially announced both transactions.<\/p>\n

Hudson split last season between the Brewers and the White Sox. He broke camp with Milwaukee, but struggled with control over the first month of the season. After piling up nine walks in 8 2\/3 innings, Hudson found himself back in Triple-A. He\u2019d make it back up for one more appearance with the club in May. The Brewers designated the 28-year-old lefty for assignment in July. Chicago scooped him up, and he pitched in four games with the team.<\/p>\n

Hudson was a key contributor in a Brewers bullpen that led the National League in ERA in 2024. He provided a pristine 1.73 ERA across 62 2\/3 innings. Hudson finished second on the team with 14 holds and also found his way to six wins. A .148 BABIP was sure to regress, as was a 94.2% left on base rate, but Hudson seemed to establish himself as an important cog in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Finding the zone was a major problem for Hudson last season. He posted a 57.9% strike rate across 16 big-league appearances. The lefty also saw his arsenal take a step back. Hudson\u2019s four-seamer, which was already on the softer side, averaged just 90.5 mph in 2025. His sweeper and cutter also lost velocity. Hudson\u2019s Stuff+ fell from 100 to 94 this past year.<\/p>\n

As Sherman notes<\/a>, there\u2019s an opening in New York\u2019s bullpen for a left-handed arm if A.J. Minter<\/a> isn\u2019t ready for Opening Day. Minter is recovering from surgery to repair a torn lat. His status is uncertain to begin the season. The Mets have Brooks Raley<\/a> as a southpaw option in the later innings, but the rest of the current projected bullpen is right-handed.<\/p>\n

Garrett underwent<\/a> Tommy John surgery in October. He\u2019s expected to miss the entire 2026 season, so his transition to the 60-day injured list doesn\u2019t come as a surprise.<\/p>\n
