The Los Angeles Dodgers designated Ryan Brasier for assignment, surprising many, as he had been a reliable reliever. Shopping him before his DFA yielded no results, leading to his trade to the Chicago Cubs. Brasier acknowledged the unexpected nature of the decision but expressed understanding of the team's needs. In the Dodgers' bullpen heading into the 2025 season, Kirby Yates, Tanner Scott, and others will play vital roles, with Scott being named the primary closer. General manager Brandon Gomes hinted at matchup-based strategies for closing games.
I was surprised, but I get it. I've been around long enough where I understand they've got to make decisions. You don't always have to like 'em or agree with 'em. But I ended up in a good spot.
I think Tanner is going to get a ton of opportunities to close games. But the biggest thing is how it fits together to handle the back end.
