Seth Brown - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Latches on with Yankees The Yankees signed Brown to a minor-league contract Monday, Aram Leighton of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Brown's production with the Athletics tumbled in the wrong direction since he had back-to-back 20-plus homer seasons in 2021 and 2022, as the 33-year-old finished 2025 with just a .185/.303/.262 batting line over 38 tilts. He does have some power and can play all three outfield spots in addition to first base, giving the Yankees some quality depth at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Cut loose by Arizona The Diamondbacks released Brown on Sunday.

Impact After signing a minor-league deal with Arizona on July 4, Brown didn't receive a call-up to the majors, despite slashing .291/.381/.544 with six home runs over 26 games at Triple-A Reno. Now a free agent, the 33-year-old will look to catch on with another organization in need of experienced outfield depth.

Inks minor-league deal with Arizona The Diamondbacks signed Brown (elbow) to a minor-league contract Friday.

Impact Brown was released by the Athletics on June 26 and had been without an organization since. The veteran outfielder posted a woeful .565 OPS with only one homer and three RBI over 38 big-league games before being let go, though he batted .500 (21-for-42) with seven home runs in just nine contests in the minors following a late-May demotion to Triple-A. Brown had been on the major-league 10-day injured list due to a left elbow injury at the time of his release, and it's not yet clear if he needs more time to recover from the issue.

Becomes free agent Brown (elbow) was waived by the Athletics on Wednesday and elected free agency Thursday, Anthony Franco of MLB Trade Rumors reports.

Impact Brown is dealing with a left elbow injury and hasn't played since June 11. The veteran outfielder has struggled mightily in the majors this season, slashing .185/.303/.262 with one homer, three RBI and one stolen base over 76 plate appearances, though he's crushed Triple-A pitching to the tune of a 1.583 OPS with seven home runs across nine contests. The Athletics elected to waive Brown on Wednesday, and he has enough MLB service time to choose to become a free agent. The next team Brown plays for will be new to him, as he was drafted by the Athletics in 2015 and spent his entire MLB career in the organization until Thursday.
