Related: About this forumDodgers dump Brian Wilson, will eat $21.5 million in '15
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2014/12/16/dodgers-dump-brian-wilson-eat-95-million/20490235/The Los Angeles Dodgers, who set a major league record with a $241 million payroll last season, are showing little hesitation in swallowing even more money in 2015.
The Dodgers on Tuesday designated relief pitcher Brian Wilson for assignment, which means they will eat the $9.5 million they owe him.
This comes on top of the $12.5 million the Dodgers will pay the Miami Marlins to offset the salaries of pitcher Dan Haren and infielder Dee Gordon as part of a six-player trade consummated last week.
If you're keeping track, that's $21.5 million paid to three players who likely will not play an inning for the Dodgers in 2015.

Where do I sign?

(31,169 posts)2. Giants' fans owe Brian Wilson some respect and thanks
He pitched his arm out while helping us win our first S.F. Championship. Though he's become quite an oddball, I don't think any real fan wants to see his career end on an injury or sour note.
That being said, the Dodgers can FUCK THEMSELVES.

Oh, wait...
