Cubs Dump Pitcher for New Reliever

By

-

The Chicago Cubs traded for right-handed reliever Ryan Brasier Tuesday night, acquiring the veteran righty from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Brasier was a Cubs offseason target last year before he eventually re-signed with the Dodgers.

To make room on the 40-man roster the Cubs designated left-handed pitcher Rob Zastryzny for assignment.

The Cubs acquired Zastryzny back in November, claiming him off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers. The lefty was a second-round pick in 2013 out of Missouri and pitched in parts of three seasons with the Cubs from 2016-18.

Zastryzny is mostly remembered by fans for his first MLB start with the Cubs on Sept. 29, 2016, against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He tossed 3.2 innings at PNC Park in what was his eighth appearance with the Cubs in 2016. It’s become a fun tidbit because that game ended in a 1-1 tie, after play was suspended in the top of the sixth inning because of rain. At the time, it was the first tie in MLB since the 2005 season.

Zastryzny stuck around in the Cubs organization through the 2018 season, making another 10 appearances in the majors before he moved on and signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers in February 2019. The 32-year-old has bounced around the league for the past five years, getting back up to the big leagues with the New York Mets, Los Angeles Angels, Pittsburgh Pirates and in 2024 with the Brewers.

Zastryzny has a career 4.30 ERA in 67 innings of work. In his brief time with the Brewers last year the left-hander posted a 1.17 ERA in 7.2 innings.

Brasier is owed $4.5 million for the 2025 season. Los Angeles is reportedly sending some cash to the Cubs. As for the return, the Cubs are either sending cash or a player to be named later.

In 2024, Brasier posted a 3.54 ERA in 28 innings of work. The righty missed a big chunk of the season because of a calf strain that sidelined him from the end of April until mid-August. When Brasier returned he was great, recording a 2.76 ERA in 16.1 innings.

Brasier has 297 MLB appearances throughout his career, pitching for the Los Angeles Angels, Boston Red Sox and Dodgers. He has a 3.85 ERA in 285.1 innings.

The 37-year-old righty was recently DFA’d by Los Angeles after the team signed free agent reliever Kirby Yates.

Zach LaVine was traded to the Sacramento Kings earlier this week, ending his eight-year tenure with the Chicago Bulls. He was the longest-tenured active player in Chicago and led the team in scoring, minutes, and games over the past decade. After DeMar DeRozan signed elsewhere over the summer and LaVine joined him in Sacramento a few days ago, Nikola Vucevic was the lone remaining ‘big three’ member. Although each is at least a two-time All-Star, they only mustered one playoff win during their time with the Bulls. Now that his running mates are gone, and he could be the next to go, Vucevic opened up about his former teammate and original All-Star duo partner LaVine. Here’s what he had to say.

“Great Guy…Great Teammate”

The 6’10” center only had glowing reviews about his former All-Star shooting guard teammate. He referenced LaVine guiding him about living in the city, the nuances of the franchise, navigating the organization, and growing on and off the court together. Vucevic was also quick to mention that he was having one of the best seasons of his career despite the constant trade chatter and scrutiny from the media and fanbase. The main takeaway from his entire opinion is his overwhelming respect for the 29-year-old and how he wishes him nothing but the best moving forward.

Although most fans knew it was time to move on from LaVine, his departure was not all sunshine and rainbows. As the face of the franchise for the past decade and having left a firm stamp in the organization’s record books, it truly symbolized the end of another era in Chicago. With just over 24 hours left until this year’s trade cutoff, with gates seemingly wide open, who else will be sent away to prepare a complete rebuild around Matas Buzelis?

Vucevic, Coby White, Lonzo Ball Trade Status

Now that their most expensive and decorated trade asset has left, Vucevic, White, and Ball trio remain the most likely candidates to follow suit. The price tag has been made public for Ball, a second-round pick who would reportedly land a contender his services in the final year of his contract. A deal is expected to be made before tomorrow’s deadline for a reserve point guard with excellent facilitating and defensive abilities who can consistently knock down the three-point shot. White’s value is debatable. Last season, he was a leading candidate for the Most Improved Player award, taking giant strides in scoring and playmaking. He lept from a bench contributor to a legitimate starting NBA guard with three-point capabilities and became a pick-and-roll expert. The Orlando Magic have most recently inquired about his availability and value.

Lastly, Vucevic is expected to remain beyond the deadline, barring a late trade partner from swooping in at the eleventh hour. The Golden State Warriors were interested until Chicago made it known they were seeking first-round draft capital. The Warriors have shifted their focus to adding an All-NBA level talent to maximize Stephen Curry’s last remaining years of elite productivity.

Each passing game is another opportunity to showcase these assets to neighboring trade destinations, and last night did not appeal to many. Tonight will be the final outing before deals must be struck and asset values agreed on. Can this trio play themselves into a trade worth executing for Karnisovas and his team?

Notable Free Agents Connected To New Chicago Bears Coaching Staff

In 2022, we learned that whenever a coaching staff is overhauled, potential free agents who have connections to them should be monitored. That off-season, they added Al-Quadin Muhammad (Eberflus), Equanimeous St. Brown (Getsy), Lucas Patrick (Getsy), and Nicholas Morrow (Travis Smith). Familiarity should never be overlooked in free agency. The Chicago Bears have once again overhauled their entire staff under new head coach Ben Johnson. With so many new faces, it opens several doors to potential signings next month.

I dug into the vast list of likely available names, pinpointing ones connected to various Bears coaches. You might be surprised by some of the ones who pop up.

The Chicago Bears have some big opportunities ahead

Ben Johnson/Antwaan Randle El
  • OG Kevin Zeitler
  • QB Teddy Bridgewater

Zeitler has been Mr. Dependable at guard for multiple teams in his career. Though 35 years old, he had another good season in Detroit. He’d be a nice temporary solution to the Bears’ interior issues. Bridgewater is a tremendous locker room presence and has been a high-quality backup for years. Johnson may want a veteran behind Caleb Williams. You can’t do much better than Teddy.

Declan Doyle
  • RB Javonte Williams
  • WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey

Williams, a former 2nd round pick, had a promising rookie year with over 900 rushing yards, but injuries hampered him over the previous two. When healthy, he has a promising skillset that would fit Johnson’s offense. Humphrey has never emerged as anything special. Still, he’s a big target at 6’4 and has been coached by Sean Payton his entire career. If you’re looking for dependable depth, this is the guy.

Dennis Allen
  • EDGE Marcus Davenport
  • EDGE Chase Young
  • TE Juwan Johnson
  • WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling
  • S Will Harris

The Chicago Bears need more help at edge rusher. Davenport and Young have both played well under Allen in New Orleans. Johnson is coming off a season with over 500 receiving yards. He’d make a great second option behind Cole Kmet. Valdes-Scantling would provide much-needed deep speed at wide receiver. Harris has played cornerback and safety, making him a versatile weapon.

Press Taylor

  • OG Brandon Scherff

Scherff is another older guard who has been consistently excellent his entire career. While Jacksonville was bad in 2024, the former Pro Bowler was yet again one of their bright spots. He would instantly stabilize Chicago’s right guard spot for the next year or two, presuming they can’t find someone long-term.

Eric Bieniemy
  • OG Trey Smith
  • WR JuJu Smith-Schuster
  • WR Justin Watson
  • WR Dyami Brown

Most consider Smith the crown jewel of the 2025 free agent class as a Pro Bowl guard in his prime. Bieniemy coached him for two years as Chiefs offensive coordinator. They know each other well. Smith-Schuster, Watson, and Brown would all provide quality depth at wide receiver. Brown is the youngest and still carries the most upside. He’d be an intriguing, low-risk, high-reward move.

Richard Smith
  • LB E.J. Speed
  • LB Denzel Perryman

Chicago isn’t overly hurting at linebacker. Still, depth is never a bad thing. Speed had the best season of his career in 2024, racking up 142 tackles. Perryman made his only Pro Bowl during the one year Smith was in Las Vegas. He’ll be 33 years old this season and has had trouble staying healthy. This would be a nice move if he’s willing to accept a rotational reserve role.

Al Harris
  • CB Jourdan Lewis
  • CB Amani Oruwariye

Lewis has been the unsung hero of the Dallas Cowboys secondary for years. His ascent coincided with Harris’s arrival in 2020. This past year was one of Lewis’s best, with 74 tackles and an interception. Oruwariye managed 29 tackles and an interception in just seven games for Dallas. Ben Johnson also knows him from their time together in Detroit.

Another Bulls Star Could Be On The Move Before Trade Deadline

The first domino has fallen for the Chicago Bulls, as they have officially moved on from Zach LaVine earlier this week. In a three-team trade, the Sacramento Kings acquired LaVine, while the Bulls regained their 2025 first-round pick from San Antonio. Chicago also added Zach Collins and Tre Jones from the Spurs, along with Kevin Huerter from the Kings.

However, the Bulls aren’t done yet. With the February 6th trade deadline approaching, they are expected to make additional moves. Key trade candidates include Nikola Vučević and potentially even Lonzo Ball. Additionally, another Bulls star has reportedly surfaced in trade discussions.

Bulls Exploring Trade Market for Coby White

According to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, the Bulls are evaluating trade options for Coby White. While no specific suitors have been named, potential teams to watch include the Dallas Mavericks and Orlando Magic. Chicago appears to be gauging White’s market value before making a decision.

After a breakout 2023-24 season in which he averaged 19.1 points per game, White has proven his production wasn’t a fluke, currently averaging 18.5 points per game through 44 games this season. At just 24 years old and on a team-friendly contract, he remains an attractive asset:

2024-25: $12M

2025-26: $12.8M

2026-27: Unrestricted Free Agent

The big question is: what could the Bulls get in return? Ideally, they would secure a first-round pick, but the return will largely depend on which team they engage with. While White is a strong trade piece, there’s also value in keeping him as Chicago rebuilds. He’s certainly a name to watch as the deadline approaches.

The Hidden Gem In The Zach LaVine Trade That No One Is Talking About

The Bulls officially kicked off their youth movement this week. In a major three-team trade, the Sacramento Kings acquired Zach LaVine from Chicago, while sending De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs. The Bulls, in return, regained their 2025 first-round pick from San Antonio and added three players: Zach Collins and Tre Jones from the Spurs, along with Kevin Huerter from the Kings.

Rumors of a LaVine trade had been circulating for over a year, and while the return may seem underwhelming, regaining their 2025 first-round pick is significant—especially with hopes of landing the No. 1 overall selection. Currently sitting at 22-29, the Bulls have a 5.3% chance of securing the top pick and a 23.1% chance of landing in the top four, per Tankathon. These odds will shift based on the team’s performance for the rest of the season, and more moves could be on the horizon, with Nikola Vučević and possibly even Lonzo Ball as potential trade candidates.

Matas Buzelis is wasting no time.

One overlooked silver lining of the LaVine trade is the opportunity it creates for rookie Matas Buzelis—and he’s already making the most of it.

In his first game after the trade on Tuesday night, Buzelis made history, becoming the youngest player in NBA history to score 20+ points without a single miss. In 31 minutes, he put up 24 points on a perfect 10-for-10 shooting performance—no free throws, just efficient drives, layups, dunks, and three-pointers, all within the flow of the game. It was a flawless display of shot selection and composure by a rookie.

Now, all eyes are on head coach Billy Donovan and how he’ll manage Buzelis’ minutes. Ideally, the rookie should see at least 20 minutes per game moving forward, giving him a real chance to develop. If Tuesday’s performance is any indication, this trade might have been exactly what Buzelis needed to thrive. And as the Bulls look to accelerate their rebuild, he could become a key piece of their future.

Former Head Coach Insists Ben Johnson Resembles HOF Icon

Nobody knows for sure what kind of head coach Ben Johnson will be. Such things are impossible to predict. However, it is beyond certain that this hire by the Chicago Bears is by far the most well-received of the modern era. Never has the organization brought in somebody with a stronger track record for success and more legitimate hype than the former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator. The craziest part is much of that buzz isn’t just coming from fans. Even former head coaches are feeding the flames.

Mike Martz already went on record saying he believes the Bears have landed a once-in-a-generation coach, having seen Johnson in action during his ascent with the Miami Dolphins in the mid-2010s. Now he’s joined by former New York Jets and Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan. Mike Greenberg of ESPN relayed the story on Waddle & Silvy that Ryan has been telling everybody who would listen for at least the past two years that Johnson is the next Bill Walsh, the Hall of Fame legend who built the San Francisco 49ers dynasty of the 1980s.

Ben Johnson being the next Walsh would be rather fitting.

Chicago was haunted by him throughout his tenure in San Francisco. His teams beat the Bears not once but twice in the 1984 and 1988 NFC championship games. The fact he did it with Joe Montana as his quarterback, who Chicago almost drafted in 1979, rubbed extra salt in the wounds. Walsh became famous for his incredible innovations on the offensive side of the ball. He was the architect of the West Coast offense, a system that elevated the quarterback in ways never seen before. Elements of it are still used to this day.

Many see Ben Johnson as another ascending offensive mind. Unlike Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay, he doesn’t have direct roots in any particular system. What he built in Detroit was constructed from several different schemes he’s experienced over the years. Ryan’s infatuation with him comes from a family connection. His son Seth Ryan is the assistant wide receivers coach for the Lions. He was there all three years that Johnson was the offensive coordinator. He saw the man work every single day.

Comparing him to Walsh is the ultimate praise. If it proves true, a golden era for Bears football is right around the corner.

Two Surprise Names Expected To Flourish In Dennis Allen’s Defense

Chicago Bears linebackers T.J. Edwards (53) and Tremaine Edmunds (49) celebrate an interception of a pass intended for Detroit Lions receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones during the first half at Ford Field, Sunday, Nov. 19, 2023.

Dennis Allen is bringing inevitable changes to the Chicago Bears’ defense. Nobody doubts the former New Orleans Saints head coach is qualified for the job. Many people inside the NFL regard him as a genius when it comes to calling defense. The only question is what changes he may desire on the personnel side of things. Chicago appears to have an established roster of good players at all three levels. Even so, Allen may have different ideas about them since he doesn’t run the same system Matt Eberflus did.

The good news is the schemes aren’t wildly different. Adam Gristick worked with Allen in New Orleans as an assistant coach. He told Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic that his former boss will find ways to get the most out of what he has. Out of all the players on the roster, though, the two who should be the most excited about his arrival are linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards.

Gristick coached linebackers at the Senior Bowl and had a suggestion for Bears linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards as they prepare for their new scheme.

“All you need to do is turn on the No. 56 film in New Orleans and watch Demario Davis and the productivity that guy’s had over the course of the years he’s been there,” Gristick said. “He’s a five-time All-Pro in New Orleans. If they watch that 56 film, those linebackers should be pretty fired up about that defense.”

Dennis Allen gets his linebackers plenty of stats.

In 2021, his last year as a coordinator before getting promoted in New Orleans, the position group enjoyed a productive season. Demario Davis had 105 tackles and three sacks. Kwon Alexander, despite missing five games with injuries, still had 50 tackles and 3.5 sacks. C.J. Gardner-Johnson, though a safety, was listed as the third linebacker most of that year. He had 46 tackles, two sacks, and three interceptions. It is beyond evident that Allen uses his linebackers in a far more aggressive fashion, blitzing often to harass the quarterback.

The Bears’ veterans can do this. Edwards had four sacks this past season despite Chicago not being much of a blitzing team, and Edmunds had 5.5 sacks in his first three seasons in Buffalo. Both are fully capable of attacking when asked, and Dennis Allen is almost certain to take advantage of that.

Top O-Line Expert Reveals Who Chicago Bears Likely Take In 1st Round

Anybody with common sense knows the Chicago Bears will focus a hefty portion of their resources this off-season on upgrading their offensive line. They likely will replace at least three members of that position group from last season. Brad Biggs said their focus will be on the interior, but finding a left tackle to replace Braxton Jones is also a possibility. GM Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson know preserving the safety of quarterback Caleb William must be their top priority.

That could include using their 10th overall pick in the 1st round. If so, the obvious question is who their target will be once on the clock. Brandon Thorn of Bleacher Report is widely viewed as the best offensive line expert in the mainstream media. He has dug deep into the film of the top names in this class and recently posted his rankings, pinpointing which names are the best at specific aspects like run-blocking, pass-blocking, and so on. His finding may determine who the Bears target in April. It feels like two names are emerging as possibilities.

Offensive Tackles

Best Run-Blocker: Armand Membou
Best Pass-Blocker: Josh Simmons
Best Zone-Blocker: Armand Membou
Most Pro-Ready: Ozzy Trapilo
Most Versatile: Josh Simmons

Interior Offensive Linemen

Best Run-Blocker: Will Campbell
Best Pass-Blocker: Will Campbell
Best Zone-Blocker: Will Campbell
Most Pro-Ready: Tyler Booker
Most Versatile: Grey Zabel

The Chicago Bears’ decision may be determined by their focus.

Free agency will factor into this process. If they secure a top option like Trey Smith in March, it could influence how they decide to approach that 1st round pick. Rather than target another guard, they could feel comfortable going for a tackle like Simmons. Thorn compared him to Christian Darrisaw, the Minnesota Vikings’ dependable left tackle. Many feel he’s on a Pro Bowl trajectory. As for Campbell, his game was likened to David DeCastro, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ former six-time Pro Bowler.

Much of this hinges on Johnson’s thinking of his options at tackle. Right now, it looks like a competition between Braxton Jones and former 3rd round pick Kiran Amegadjie for that spot opposite Darnell Wright. If the Chicago Bears head coach thinks one of them can handle the job, then Campbell will be the pick, presuming he’s available. If not, Simmons becomes a legitimate conversation. It would mark the first time the Bears will have employed two 1st round tackles at the same time since Jimbo Covert and Keith Van Horne in 1991.

Cubs Trade for Reliever Could Lead to Alex Bregman Signing

The Chicago Cubs missed out on two of their top free agent reliever targets in January and since then they’ve responded by making a pair of trades to help bolster the bullpen. After making a deal for veteran closer Ryan Pressly the Cubs followed up by making a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers for another veteran reliever in Ryan Brasier.

Brasier, 37, was recently designated for assignment by the Dodgers, who had to make room on their roster after they signed Kirby Yates. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported the deal between the Cubs and Dodgers Tuesday night.

In 2024, Brasier posted a 3.54 ERA in 28 innings of work. The righty missed a big chunk of the season because of a calf strain that sidelined him from the end of April until mid-August. When Brasier returned he was great, recording a 2.76 ERA in 16.1 innings.

Brasier signed a two-year, $9 million contract to return to the Dodgers last offseason, when the Cubs also pursued him in free agency. By the way, the Dodgers are also sending some cash to the Cubs along with Brasier to cover some of his $4.5 million salary this season.

So, how does this relate to a potential Alex Bregman signing for the Cubs? Well, after the team traded for Pressly they reportedly were still interested in adding another reliever. David Robertson was a popular name connected to the Cubs, but his cost would probably be double of what the Cubs are now going to pay Brasier.

The Cubs now have Brasier at a lower cost, which could mean they are more willing to offer Bregman a higher annual salary on a shorter deal. Bregman may change his mind on agreeing to a short-term contract if the AAV is in the $30 million range. Right before the Brasier trade was reported on Tuesday rumors of the Cubs offer for Bregman spread online.

According to North Side Baseball writer Matthew Trueblood, the Cubs have an offer on the table for Bregman at about $30 million AAV for four years, including opt outs.

We’ll see if connecting these dots actually leads to a Bregman signing.

Cubs Offer to Alex Bregman Leaked

For the past couple of weeks we’ve been hearing non-stop how the Chicago Cubs have interest in signing free agent Alex Bregman. There haven’t been many details reported on what the Cubs would be comfortable going to with the lone piece of info being that they would prefer to sign Bregman to a similar contract to the one Cody Bellinger agreed to with the team last offseason. Well, now the Cubs offer to Bregman has leaked.

We finally know what the Cubs have offered Bregman according to Matthew Trueblood, a Cubs writer for North Side Baseball. According to his sources, the Cubs have a four-year deal worth close to $30 per year on the table for Bregman. The contract includes opt-outs as well. What makes the potential offer even more interesting is the possibility that the Cubs can also cancel out one of the opt-outs with a mini-extension of their own.

Via North Side Baseball.

So, right now, the Cubs have a “creative, potentially unprecedented” contract offer out to Bregman, one source said. The deal is believed to be worth around $30 million annually over four years, with multiple opt-outs. Bregman could end up with the right to opt out after any of the first three seasons of the deal.

That could include a counter-option for the Cubs on one of the opt-outs, allowing them to void Bregman’s option by extending him for an extra year or two—similar to the decision they’ll have to make this fall about Shota Imanaga’s oddly-structured deal.

It could also mean that the fourth year is not fully guaranteed, but a vesting option contingent on health or playing time, with a big chunk of the money in Year 3 (2027, the season that could be affected by a work stoppage anyway) pushed out to Year 4 and divided into a guaranteed buyout and a hefty vesting value. One way or another, there’s likely to be a wrinkle.

Cubs Insider writer Jacob Zanolla also reported on Tuesday night that the Cubs have a four-year offer in for Bregman worth more than $100 million.

Earlier on Tuesday Houston Astros GM Dana Brown made interesting comments regarding Bregman, repeatedly saying how the team had lost the third baseman and outfielder Kyle Tucker this offseason. When asked to clarify his comments on having lost Bregman, despite the infielder still being available, Brown said any discussions the team was having about him have remained internal. Brown later added that he nor Astros owner Jim Crane have had any conversations with Bregman’s agent Scott Boras recently.

Speculation around the Cubs interest in Bregman started in the middle of January and since then it seems as though those rumors have certainly picked up steam. In the meantime, the Toronto Blue Jays, Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox have also been connected to Bregman along with the Cubs and Astros.

In recent days there has been talk about Bregman not having interest in signing with either Detroit or Toronto. The third baseman has reportedly been holding out for a $200 million contract this offseason, but so far no team has met his demands.

The Blue Jays reportedly have a six-year offer out for Bregman along with the Astros, who offered Bregman six years for $156 million back in November, a deal Bregman rejected. The Red Sox are reportedly only willing to offer Bregman a deal up to four years.

Is Jed Hoyer going to pull off another surprise?
