Dodgers Seeking Trade Partner For Ryan Brasier
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Los Angeles Dodgers are shopping right-handed pitcher Ryan Brasier. Nightengale noted that the Dodgers need to clear space off their 40-man roster for several new additions. On Tuesday, Nightengale reported that the Dodgers had reached a tentative agreement with right-handed pitcher Kirby Yates. Last season, Brasier was deployed typically out of the bullpen but did make four starts. Across 28 innings, the 37-year-old held a 3.54 ERA and a strong 0.96 WHIP. He showed elite command with a 4.5% walk rate but struggled to generate strikeouts as he posted a modest 22.7% K rate. During the playoffs, he allowed five earned across nine innings of work. If the Dodgers find a trade partner for Brasier, he would likely operate as a middle-relief option with his new club.
