Dodgers Trade Ryan Brasier To Chicago Cubs

The Los Angeles Dodgers traded Ryan Brasier and cash to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

When the Dodgers announced the signing of Kirby Yates, it was accompanied by Ryan Brasier getting designated for assignment. Brasier became the odd man out in a crowded Dodgers bullpen despite his quality performance over the past two seasons for the club.

After being designated on Jan. 30, the Dodgers had 10 days to trade the right-hander or grant him his outright release. He figured to have a fairly significant trade market due to his salary and performance, plus the need for relievers across MLB.

The 37-year-old went 3-0 with a 1.89 ERA, 2.83 FIP and 0.83 WHIP across 68 appearances (four starts) for the Dodgers since being acquired in June 2023.

Brasier is on the final year of his deal and set to make $4.5 million.

The Dodgers signed Brasier to a two-year, $9 million contract last February. His deal included potential to reach $13 million in total value through incentives.

Brasier became the choice to designate for assignment because the Dodgers needed the 40-man roster space and he presents less roster flexibility than some of their other players.

“I think just kind of the timing of it,” general manager Brandon Gomes said. “Obviously, Brasier has been great for us. As we look out, how the bullpen is built and potentially needing some flexibility down the road, unfortunately Bras was the move.

“He’s been incredible for us. Great teammate, great dude. There’s a bunch of factors. It never feels good, but that was pretty much the reason.”

Dodgers return for Ryan Brasier

The Dodgers have until a later date to decide on what player they would like to receive from the Cubs, or if it will instead be cash.
