Freehold native, Monmouth alum, and Mets castoff Brad Brach gets a minor league deal with Kansas City, hey! hey! hey! hey!

Might have loved his Mets like no “I grew up a Mets fan” Met ever did. Part of a storyline-satisfying de facto cabal of Metropolitan Area Mets with Frazier, Stroman, Matz and Panik, together intent on taking the NL by storm for a couple of weeks in 2019, though Brach showed up just after they peaked. Was worth a shot.

I liked his 2019. In retrospect, catching COVID wasn't good for his career. Wore #29 as many before him did, and many more will.

Will anybody ever be more of a 29 than Steve Trachsel, though? I don't think so.

Yup Trax is the undisputed all-time Mets 29

Just how big of a Mets fan is Brach? The right-hander has been pitching in the majors since 2011 and considers his best baseball moment being at Citi Field for Game 3 of the 2015 World Series. "I went to Game 3 with my two brothers and wife. Like I said, we grew up huge Mets fans and I'm a baseball fan, so -- some guys might think it's weird or whatever but it was awesome," Brach said. "I had a great time. When David Wright hit that home run that was probably one of the best baseball moments I've had regardless of on the field or whatnot." https://sny.tv/articles/diehard-mets-fan-brad-brach-living-out-childhood-dream

KC DFA'd Brad Brach today. Maybe the Mets will reacquire him, especially because they are paying him.
