Cubs Trade for Veteran Reliever Ryan Brasier from Dodgers

The 37-year-old right-hander joins Chicago's bullpen after being designated for assignment by Los Angeles last week.

The Chicago Cubs acquired Ryan Brasier from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for a player to be named later.
Brasier, a 37-year-old reliever, posted a 3.54 ERA in 29 appearances for the Dodgers last season, including four starts.
He was sidelined for nearly four months in 2024 due to a calf injury but returned to contribute in the postseason.
The Dodgers designated Brasier for assignment after signing two-time All-Star Kirby Yates to a one-year deal.
Brasier, a 2018 World Series champion with the Red Sox, is in the final year of a two-year, $9 million contract and will be a free agent after the 2025 season.
