"Brasier made his debut with the Angels back in 2013 but spent most of his career as a member of the Red Sox. After struggling badly to open the year in Boston back in 2023, Brasier found himself released and caught on with L.A. on a minor league deal."
"He wound up turning things around in a big way with the Dodgers and turned in a sensational 0.70 ERA across 39 games with the club the rest of the way. That was enough to convince the Dodgers to bring Brasier back on a two-year deal in free agency."
"Once Brasier reached free agency this offseason, he found a quiet market. While his peripherals with the Cubs (including a 3.17 FIP) were fairly solid, his strikeout rate continuing to drop and his struggles to stay healthy were enough to convince teams not to look the other way on his below-average run prevention in 2025."
Ryan Brasier has re-signed with the Rangers after being released prior to Opening Day. He previously struggled with the Red Sox but rebounded with the Dodgers, posting a 0.70 ERA. His second season with the Dodgers was marred by injuries, leading to a trade to the Cubs. In Chicago, he faced further injuries and a decline in performance, resulting in a quiet free agency market. Despite solid peripherals, teams were concerned about his health and performance.
