The Los Angeles Dodgers have cut ties with 2007 NL All-Star Game starter Brad Penny, declining his $9.25M option for 2009. Penny disappeared late in the season after the Dodgers shut him and his bum shuolder down. The big right-hander went 6-9 with a 6.27 ERA in only 94+ innings after such a superb '07 campaign.
Brad will receive a $2M buyout and will be a great option for lower market teams to sign a low-risk high-reward type pitcher. He should still receive at least $6M per though (at least as I believe the market to be).

I think the Dodgers will be looking to get Penny to another contract. Just because they bought out his option doesn't mean they're letting him get away.
