2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brasier was sporting an unsightly 7.29 ERA and 1.57 WHIP when the Red Sox released the righty in late May. A couple of weeks later, Brasier signed a minor-league deal with the Dodgers and was assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City. After three scoreless frames with five strikeouts on the farm, Brasier was summoned to the Dodgers bullpen where he excelled, recording a pristine .70 ERA and .72 WHIP in 38.2 frames. Even so, the Dodgers let Brasier go after the season. His second half exploits will land the 36-year-old veteran a job, perhaps in a late inning capacity, but not as a closer. Relievers not accumulating saves can be fantasy relevant, but Brasier doesn't miss ample bats to be a fantasy factor. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Discussions with Yankees
Brasier has received interest from the Yankees, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Heyman notes that the Yanks have been making lowball offers to this point as they cast a wide net in their search for bullpen help. Brasier finished strong down the stretch with the Dodgers last season, holding a 0.70 ERA and 38:10 K:BB over his final 38.2 frames. The Dodgers would like to re-sign him, and he's also received interest from the Cardinals.

Brasier pitched his way out of the closer role in a hurry in 2019 and even pitched his way off the roster for a full month of that season. A toe injury was said to be the culprit, with compensation for the injury leading to kinks in Brasier's mechanics. He returned to form in 2020 and re-established himself as an important piece of the Boston relief corps, leading the team with 10 holds, twice as many as anyone else in the bullpen. Brasier sits 96-plus mph and can break off a good slider. He's posted swinging-strike rates right at 15% in three consecutive seasons and it would be unwise to forget about him.
