Source: Kazmir will remain with Dodgers

Veteran lefty declines to opt out after first year of three-year deal

November 7th, 2016

LOS ANGELES -- Starting pitcher did not exercise an opt-out of his contract by Monday's deadline and remains with the Dodgers, a baseball source confirmed.
Kazmir, who made only one one-inning start after Aug. 22 because of neck and back issues, has two years and $32 million remaining on the three-year deal he signed with Los Angeles last December. The pact allowed Kazmir to opt out and become a free agent after one season.
