Overview
- The Yankees have acquired left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for left-handed pitcher Matt Gage and right-handed pitcher Christian Zazueta Jr.
- Ferguson, who has a career 3.43 ERA, is expected to bolster the Yankees' bullpen, filling the gap left by Wandy Peralta's departure to San Diego.
- The Dodgers re-signed Ryan Brasier on a two-year deal worth $9 million, following the trade of Ferguson to the Yankees.
- The trade is part of the Yankees' strategy to add depth to their bullpen, which also saw the acquisition of Victor González from the Dodgers earlier this offseason.
- The Dodgers' bullpen reshuffle includes the return of Brasier and the acquisition of Matt Gage, providing flexibility and depth ahead of the 2024 season.
