Ryan Brasier Has Officially Been Traded to the Colorado Rockies
Brasier, one of the longest-tenured Dodgers, has been traded to the Rockies for cash considerations.
He spent the last five seasons with Los Angeles and is known for his electric fastball and devastating cutter.
The trade was announced on Thursday, August 4, 2023, and comes as a bit of a surprise, as Brasier was a key member of the Dodgers' bullpen last season.
In 2022, Brasier had a 3.71 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 54.2 innings pitched, striking out 66 batters and walking just 17. He also had a 3.68 FIP and 3.23 xFIP, suggesting that he was even better than his ERA would indicate.
Brasier's departure will leave a hole in the Dodgers' bullpen, but it also gives them some much-needed financial flexibility. Brasier was set to make $4.5 million in 2023, and the Dodgers have been looking to cut costs all offseason.
The Rockies, meanwhile, are getting a veteran reliever who can help them improve their bullpen. Brasier has been one of the most consistent relievers in baseball over the past few seasons, and he should be a valuable asset for the Rockies.
The Dodgers and Rockies are two of the most storied franchises in baseball, so this trade is sure to have a major impact on both teams. It will be interesting to see how Brasier performs in Colorado, and how the Dodgers replace him in their bullpen.
