Brewers Acquire Pitching Prospect Brandon Sproat from Mets in Trade

Pitching prospect Brandon Sproat was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers on January 21, 2026, after being ranked the Mets' #5 prospect. In 2025, Sproat posted a 4.24 ERA in Triple-A and made four MLB starts for the Mets, recording a 4.79 ERA. He showed promise with a dominant July in Triple-A before his call-up. Known for a diverse pitch mix, including a 100 MPH fastball, he has shown effectiveness with his sweeping slider and changeup but has struggled against left-handed batters throughout his professional career.
