Days before pitchers and catchers report to spring training in Arizona, the Dodgers’ bullpen situation became a little more clear Monday.
The team and veteran reliever Ryan Brasier reportedly agreed to a two-year, $9-million contract to keep the right-hander in Los Angeles after his resurgent performance last season.
In a related move, the Dodgers also traded left-hander Caleb Ferguson to the New York Yankees for left-hander Matt Gage and right-hander Christian Zazueta Jr., the team announced.
Brasier, 36, returns to the Dodgers after emerging as the club’s top set-up man over the second half of last season.
