Since being cut loose from the Red Sox bullpen, Ryan Brasier has enjoyed a remarkable career turnaround in Los Angeles, and now he’s set to remain a key part of the Dodgers bullpen for years to come.

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Brasier has agreed to a two-year, $9 million deal that could be worth up to $13 million if certain incentives are met. The deal is by far the largest of the 36-year-old right-hander’s career and should put him in position to play a major role on what is expected to remain a championship contender.

A deal like this would have seemed inconceivable after the way Brasier’s tenure in Boston ended last spring.

Coming off an inconsistent 2022, Brasier was subject to fan ridicule throughout the offseason and then struggled out of the gate in 2023. He posted a 7.29 ERA through 20 appearances and was designated for assignment in mid-May, ending his six-year tenure with the Red Sox.

Brasier signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers shortly afterwards, upon making his big league debut for Los Angeles on June 21 he looked like a completely new pitcher. Brasier established himself as one of the Dodgers’ best bullpen arms, posting an 0.70 ERA over 39 appearances while posting an improved strikeout rate and walk rate.

He finished the season with a spot on Los Angeles’ postseason roster, and now he’s received a new contract that could more than double his total career earnings if he earns all of his incentives.
