Sources: Cubs land reliever Ryan Brasier in trade with Dodgers
The Chicago Cubs acquired right-handed reliever Ryan Brasier in a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, sources told ESPN, deepening their bullpen through another trade in an offseason full of activity.
Brasier, 37, was designated for assignment last week when the Dodgers' deal with right-handed reliever Kirby Yates was finalized. He was a solid contributor on Los Angeles' World Series-winning team, throwing nine innings during the postseason after posting a 3.54 ERA in 28 regular-season innings.
