Overview

  • Just Baseball’s Aram Leighton reported that New York agreed to a minor-league contract with the corner outfielder/first baseman.
  • Brown owns a career .226/.292/.419 slash line with a 100 wRC+ across parts of seven MLB seasons and posted 20-homer campaigns in 2021 and 2022.
  • He was limited to 38 major-league games last season and dealt with a left elbow issue before being designated for assignment and released by Oakland.
  • After signing a minor-league deal with Arizona, he hit .291/.381/.544 in a Triple-A stint but did not receive a call-up.
  • He projects as a left-handed bench option who can cover first base and the corner outfield, offering a platoon fit versus right-handed pitching behind expected first-base starter Ben Rice.
