Bubba Trammell - DH - Los Angeles Dodgers Jan 6
Dodgers signed outfielder Bubba Trammell, who had been with the Yankees, to a one-year, $1.85 million contract
It's being listed as a $1.85 million contract even though it's believed the Dodgers are only responsible for $300,000. The balance will be paid by the Yankees as part of the settlement of a grievance he filed against the team after it terminated his contract. Trammell will act as a right-handed bat off the bench for the Dodgers. If he plays well, the team could consider starting him in left field against left-handers and shifting Juan Encarnacion to center.
