Nov 5 RHP Jon Garland became a free agent when the Dodgers declined his $10 million option for 2010. Garland went 3-0 with a 2.72 ERA over the final month with the Dodgers. He was on the NLDS roster but didn't pitch and was not included on the NLCS roster. His former team, the Arizona Diamondbacks, are responsible for his $2.5 million buyout. Yahoo! Sports


Nov 5 The Dodgers declined to pick up Garland's $10 million option for 2010, the L.A. Times reports.

Recommendation: Arizona is paying the $2.5 million buyout in his contract as part of his trade to Los Angeles. He could return to the Dodgers on a different deal, however, but for now he'll become a free agent.

Nov 5 The Dodgers have declined a $10 million mutual option on Garland for next season, making him eligible for free agency.

Advice: The right-hander gets a $2.5 million buyout because the team declined, and he would have earned a $1 million buyout if he had declined. Garland was acquired from Arizona ahead of the July 31 trade deadline for infielder Tony Abreu. He was 3-2 with a 2.72 ERA in six games for the Dodgers, and didn't make their playoff roster. He was 8-11 with a 4.29 ERA in 27 games with Arizona.
