Major League Baseball Let’s try this again, after a few more acquisitions. One week today, the Cubs — or, more correctly, a bunch of guys wearing Cubs uniforms — will take the field at Camelback Ranch to face the Dodgers. Most likely, even if there are a handful of everyday Cubs regulars in the lineup, by the fifth inning they’ll be replaced by guys who will probably spend 2025 in Double-A...2025

"Dodgers Gauging Trade Interest In Ryan Brasier"

2024
"The Dodgers are going with reliever Ryan Brasier as their starter for Game 4 of the NL Division Series on Wednesday as they try to avoid elimination against the Padres."

2023
"Dairon Blanco hit a grounder to first but reached when pitcher Ryan Brasier could not handle the throw from Freddie Freeman for an error."

2022
"The New York Yankees might’ve posted their sleepiest loss of the season on Sunday night at Fenway Park, getting blanked 3-0 by Michael Wacha, Ryan Brasier and Garrett Whitlock before packing up their bats — just kidding, they didn’t bring those."

2021
"Ryan Brasier knew what was on the line after he loaded the bases in the seventh inning of a one-run game against the Washington Nationals."

2019
"He also suggested the team feels comfortable with its existing options to handle the ninth inning, naming Matt Barnes, Ryan Brasier, Tyler Thorn"

2018
"The Red Sox's much-maligned bullpen did not lack for spark on Saturday night, when Ryan Brasier yelled at Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez for stepping out of the batter's box one too many times during an at-bat in Game 2 of the American League Division Series at Fenway Park."
