Ryan Brasier, following a strong performance with the Dodgers, was designated for assignment and subsequently traded to the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers, needing roster flexibility, opted to trade Brasier, who has been impressive over the last two seasons with a 1.89 ERA. Despite the reduction in roster space, the move seemed inevitable as the Dodgers look to manage their bullpen efficiently. Brasier is slated to earn $4.5 million in the final year of his contract, and while the return for the trade isn't confirmed, expectations suggest it may not be substantial.
