Brasier, who joined the Red Sox in 2018, has a 3.49 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 134 total games with Boston. He spent most of 2021 in the minor leagues before posting a 1.50 ERA in 13 appearances with the big-league club. The 34-year-old will be arbitration-eligible again next year.
Other Red Sox players eligible for arbitration this winter are Rafael Devers, Hunter Renfroe, Kevin Plawecki, Nick Pivetta, Josh Taylor, Christian Arroyo and Alex Verdugo.
