Seth Brown: Everything you need to know

The Yankees reassigned Brown to minor-league camp Saturday. Brown slashed .185/.303/.262 plate appearances with the Athletics in 2025 but spent the majority of the past season at the Triple-A level. After joining the Yankees on a minor-league deal in January, Brown was unable to win a spot on New York's Opening Day roster and will likely be ticketed for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to begin the upcoming campaign.

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

The Diamondbacks released Brown on Sunday. 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.
