The Cubs are sending a player to be named or cash to the Dodgers for Brasier, who went 1-0 with a 3.54 ERA in 29 games last year, including four starts.

Then, on the eve of the Winter Meetings, the Dodgers made a surprise acquisition, signing outfielder Michael Conforto on a one-year, $17 million. That same night, it was reported reliever Blake Treinen was returning to Los Angeles on a two-year, $22 million deal.
