Brasier was picked in the 6th round of the 2007 MLB Draft.

The 38-year-old started out his MLB career with the Los Angeles Angels.

He then spent part of six seasons with the Boston Red Sox, helping lead them to the 2018 World Series Championship.

In that span, Brasier went 7-8 with a 4.55 ERA in 222 games.

Following the Red Sox, Brasier had stops with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs.

He won a second World Series title with the Dodgers.

Brasier last pitched in an MLB game during the 2025 season (with the Cubs).

Over part of nine seasons, he has gone 10-9 with a 3.90 ERA in 325 career games.

It will be interesting to see if Brasier gets a chance with another MLB organization before the end of the 2026 season.
