The Los Angeles Dodgers have had no shortage of bullpen news this offseason, with the signings of Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates, and Blake Treinen also being extended.

These additions meant that the Dodgers had to make room on their 40-man roster, which led to Ryan Brasier being the odd man out.

Dodgers’ general manager Brandon Gomes recently spoke about what went into the decision: “As we look out, how the bullpen is built and potentially needing some flexibility down the road, unfortunately, Bras was the move.

He’s been incredible for us. Great teammate, a great dude.

There’s a bunch of factors. It never feels good, but that was pretty much the reason,” Gomes said, according to Matthew Moreno of Dodger Blue.

Brasier was a big piece of the Dodgers’ 2024 World Series run, where he was often called on to be the opener and get the game’s crucial first three outs. In eight appearances in the 2024 postseason, he recorded seven strikeouts over 9.0 innings.

In 68 appearances with the Dodgers over the last two seasons, Brasier posted a 1.89 ERA and 68 strikeouts in 66 2/3 innings.

Brasier will likely be looking to clear waivers this offseason and potentially sign with another team for a league-minimum contract.
