Kelly (biceps) had his team option declined by the Dodgers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly will be paid a $4 million buyout rather than a $12 million salary. He was an important part of the Dodgers' bullpen in 2021, riding a career-high 27.5 percent strikeout rate to a 2.86 ERA. The team could still try to bring him back at a lower dollar amount, though the strained biceps he suffered during the NLCS adds a fair amount of uncertainty to the veteran's profile this winter.
