Brian Wilson: Designated For Assignment
The Dodgers designated Wilson for assignment Tuesday.
Analysis:
With Brandon McCarthy's signing becoming official, the Dodgers had to clear room on their 40-man roster. Wilson's $9.5 million salary for 2015 was already a sunk cost, and it seems the Dodgers just decided to cut their losses entirely and move on. A three-time All-Star, Wilson posted a 4.66 ERA and 1.61 WHIP last season as a 32-year-old, with 54 strikeouts against 29 walks.
