Relief pitcher Will Ohman’s $2.2 million club option will not be picked up by the Dodgers.  Ohman, who filed for free agency on Monday, will receive a $200,000 buyout.  Ohman’s 2009 salary was $1.35 million.
General Manager Ned Colletti will have some work to do in retooling the Dodger’s pitching staff for 2010.  They have stability with starters Chad Billingsley, Clayton Kershaw and Randy Wolf, along with setup man Ramon Troncoso and closer Jonathan Broxton.  However, they will need to recover from underperformers such as Jason Schmidt and Jeff Weaver.  Luckily the Manny Ramirez contract is set for 2010 and will not be an off season distraction, but the bitter divorce of the McCourt family may handcuff Colletti in completing big contracts.
