Ryan Brasier’s time with the Dodgers officially ended on Tuesday, with the veteran reliever being traded to the Chicago Cubs less than a week after being designated for assignment.
Brasier, 37, was DFA’d by the Dodgers last week in order to make room on their 40-man roster for newly signed veteran reliever Kirby Yates.
The Dodgers had reportedly been shopping Brasier on the trade market before then, and finally found a partner Friday in the Cubs, who acquired the eight-year veteran after a 2024 season in which he had a 3.54 ERA but also missed significant time with a calf injury.
