Chicago Cubs lose 2x World Series champion to the Texas Rangers
The Chicago Cubs are hopeful that they can have a much healthier pitching staff in 2026 than they did in 2025. This is true for both their starting rotation and bullpen. Indeed, last season saw many of their pitchers sidelined for weeks or months at a time, forcing the team to get creative on how to best fill the holes.
One of the pitchers who missed considerable time was right-hander Ryan Brasier. He suffered two different groin injury, one of which kept him out for two months. And while he is healthy now, he will not be returning to the Cubs.
Former Chicago Cubs pitcher Ryan Brasier has signed with the Texas Rangers
Brasier, a two-time World Series champion with the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers, has agreed to a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers.
Ex-Red Sox news, per sources: Ryan Brasier is finalizing a deal with his hometown Rangers.
Brasier was limited to 26 innings with the Cubs last year and had a 3.17 FIP.
— Chris Cotillo (@ChrisCotillo) February 6, 2026
The contract includes an invitation to Major League spring training.
Last season, Brasier appeared in 28 games for the Cubs and had a 4.50 ERA. In 2024, the year prior, he won the World Series with Los Angeles, but only appeared in 29 games for them with a 3.54 ERA.
Brasier has spent most of his career in the American League with the Red Sox, with whom he pitched for six seasons.
For his career, Brasier has appeared in 325 Major League games and has a record of 10-9 with a 3.90 ERA.
