Dodgers trade Caleb Ferguson to NYY, add Brasier on a 2-year deal (source) for up to $13 million

[caulfield12]

The activity got started Monday morning, when the Dodgers put some final touches on their bullpen. First, the club finalized a trade that sent left-hander Caleb Ferguson to the Yankees for left-hander Matt Gage and righty pitching prospect Christian Zazueta Jr.

With Ferguson off to New York, the Dodgers had an open bullpen spot, which they quickly filled by agreeing to terms with veteran right-hander Ryan Brasier on a two-year, $9 million deal, sources told MLB.com. Incentives could push the total value of Brasier’s contract to $13 million. The club has not confirmed Brasier’s deal.

Speaking of NYY....

We need to trade with NYY (regardless of Cease) and acquire Vivas to be strongside of the 2B platoon. He had a very strong year last year in AA as a 22 year old and got his feet wet in AAA. Walked more than he struck out. 

It shouldn't cost a ton and would be valuable to us. LH...projected 55 hit and gets OBP plus projected 50 glove at 2B.

If Getz is trying to find bargains that fill needs cheaply, this is one. 

Maybe we can send them a reliever or two.

At this point, which relievers? I'm sure they're not just going to give the guy away for Jimmy Lambert, ha
