7-Year MLB Veteran Still A Free Agent
With less than one month before the 2026 MLB playoffs, it’s worth noting that Seth Brown still remains a free agent.
He was released by the Yankees earlier this year.
MLB.com wrote (on June 14): “Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders released LF Seth Brown.”
Brown did not appear in a game for the Yankees at the MLB level.
He had been with their Triple-A affiliate.
Brown had been batting .235 with 43 hits, nine home runs and 21 RBIs in 53 games for the SWB RailRiders.
He could be a good addition to another organization for depth before the playoffs.
Looking At Brown
Brown has spent all seven seasons of his MLB career with the Athletics (2019-25).
He has 14+ home runs in four of those seasons.
His best year came in 2022 when he hit 25 home runs with 73 RBIs.
Looking At The Yankees Right Now
The Yankees are in the middle of a strong 2026 regular season.
They are the second-place team in the American League East with a 76-58 record in 134 games.
Following three more games with the Red Sox, the Yankees will head on the road to visit Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night in California.
