Trevor Cahill Opts Out Of Dodgers Contract

By Jeff Todd | August 14, 2015 at 6:57pm CDT

Righty Trevor Cahill has exercised an opt-out clause in his minor league deal with the Dodgers, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports on Twitter. He will head back onto the open market in search of a new opportunity.

Cahill, 27, signed on with the Dodgers organization after being released earlier in the season by the Braves. He had been dealt to Atlanta from the Diamondbacks over the winter.

Over his 34 1/3 frames with Oklahoma City on the year, Cahill worked to a 5.24 ERA with 7.6 K/9 against 4.2 BB/9. Needless to say, he never received an opportunity at the big league level with Los Angeles.

Cahill’s difficulties this season continue a rough stretch of results. Since the start of the 2014 season, and covering his time earlier this year with Atlanta, Cahill has put up 137 innings of 5.98 ERA pitching at the major league level.

While Cahill is playing on a $12MM salary this year, the Dodgers never picked up any piece of that in signing him. Instead, the Diamondbacks ($6.5MM) and Braves ($5.5MM, plus his $300K option buyout for next year) are paying the balance.

    Would be an ideal signing by Duquette and the Orioles.
    he is basically free to a good home.

      Don’t you say this about pretty much everyone who gets DFAed or becomes a FA?

    I sure hope this guys turns into a late bloomer.. He had so much promise in Oakland and then basically fell apart in Arizona.. Hopefully, it is a confidence issue that can be sorted out with a year or 2 in Japan.. Seems like the type of pitcher that goes over there and does well..
