Getty Images: Ryan Brasier Returns to Dodgers with $9 Million Contract
In a surprising move, the Los Angeles Dodgers have brought back pitcher Ryan Brasier on a two-year, $9 million dollar contract.
This reunion comes after a rollercoaster season for Brasier, who was designated for assignment by the Red Sox due to a lackluster 7.29 ERA. However, the Dodgers saw potential in him and claimed him off waivers.
Brasier quickly proved his worth to the Dodgers, turning his career around with an impressive 0.70 ERA in 39 games. He also showcased his pitching prowess by striking out 38 batters in just 38.2 innings. These numbers were a significant improvement from his time in Boston, where he struggled to find success.
While it’s unlikely that Brasier will replicate his exceptional performance from last year, the Dodgers are confident in his abilities. They believe that as long as he can keep hitters off balance, he will be a valuable asset to manager Dave Roberts and the team’s bullpen.
