Dodgers Decline Option On Joe Kelly
3 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kelly (biceps) will head to free agency after the team declined his option Saturday. Kelly would have made $12 million dollars on the option, and he will instead receive a $4 million dollar buyout. This decision could largely be influenced by Kelly's injury status, but recent reports suggest he should be ready to start the 2022 season. After posting a 2.86 ERA, and 0.98 WHIP with 50 strikeouts in 44 innings across 48 appearances, Kelly should have no shortage of suitors. His fantasy value would spike if he were to go to a team with less potent back-end bullpen options than the Dodgers.
