X-Man DFA 後, 如果沒人從 waivers 撿走，道奇就要吃下明年他的 $9.5M
(應該也不會有人撿吧?)
加上 Dan Haren $10M, Matt Kemp $32M
道奇要幫一票不在自己隊上的球員付薪水

The Dodgers have designated reliever Brian Wilson, the club announced. The
move creates roster space for the addition of Brandon McCarthy.
While the end of Wilson’s tenure comes as something of a shock given his
stout $9.5MM salary for next season, the fact is that he was not good at all
last year. The 32-year-old pitched to a 4.22 ERA over 48 1/3 innings, with
10.1 K/9 against 5.4 BB/9.
He had shown excellent form over a short sample late in 2013, leading the
Dodgers (under then-GM Ned Colletti) to award him a $10MM deal with a player
option that floated in value and ultimately came in at $9.5MM. While it is
likely that another team would be interested in bringing in Wilson to compete
for a job in camp, his value obviously falls well shy of what he is owed.
The new brass in Los Angeles has been aggressive in turning over its roster,
eating significant cash in the process. Wilson’s $9.5MM salary joins the
$10MM owed to Dan Haren and $32MM piece of Matt Kemp‘s contract as cash on
the books for players who are no longer on the team’s roster.
