Mets' Wild Week Continues: Vidal Brujan Joins the Team in Trade with Twins
The Mets' busy week in the trading market continued on Thursday with the acquisition of utility infielder Vidal Brujan from the Twins. This move comes after the Mets traded Luisangel Acuña for Luis Robert Jr. earlier in the week.
Brujan, a 27-year-old utility player, had a productive 2025 season, posting a combined .616 OPS in 60 games for the Cubs, Orioles, and Braves. To make room for Brujan on the 40-man roster, the Mets designated left-hander Richard Lovelady for assignment.
The Twins acquired Brujan from Atlanta via a waiver claim a week ago, and to send him back to the minors, he must go through the waiver process again. Brujan has been a fixture in the major leagues for parts of five seasons, including 102 games with the Marlins in 2024.
This trade marks another strategic move by the Mets to bolster their infield depth, adding a versatile player who can contribute in multiple roles. With the team's recent trades, the Mets are reshaping their roster and aiming to make a strong push in the upcoming season.
