Incentives
2010: signed a one-year deal for $5.05 million, plus up to $100k in incentives (per Tony Jackson)

2010: His contract for 2010 calls for a salary of $410,000 if in the majors of $168,000 if in the minors (per Dylan Hernandez)
DeWitt was traded to the Cubs on July 31, so he was a Dodger for 119 days:
$410,000 x 119/183 = $266,612
2009: His salary is $405,000, and he was on the major league roster from opening day through April 29, for a total of 25 days. Note: he was sent down to AAA on April 13, but was recalled on April 17 due to the injury to Mientkiewicz. Those four days count as major league service time because he was recalled due to an injury.
$405,000 x 25/183 = $55,328
DeWitt was recalled on June 7, and was optioned to AAA after the game on June 14, so he was on the MLB roster for 8 days.
$405,000 x 8/183 = $17,705
DeWitt was recalled on July 5, and was optioned to AAA on July 11, so he was on the MLB roster for 6 days.
$405,000 x 6/183 = $13,279
DeWitt was recalled on July 16, and was optioned to AAA on July 27, so he was on the MLB roster for 11 days.
$405,000 x 11/183 = $24,344

Furcal's 2009 salary is $6.5 million, but there is also a deferred $4 million signing bonus from his previous contract, that was paid in January 2009.
Furcal also has a $12 million 2012 option, with the following details (per Dylan Hernandez):
- Option vests with 600 PA in 2011
- With 625 PA in 2011, Furcal can void 2012 option
- With 1,600 PA from 2009-2011, Furcal is guaranteed another $1.3 million in 2012, either as the buyout of the option or added to the base salary if the option is picked up. Furcal had 1,108 PA in 2009-2010

Annually (2010-2011)
$25,000 for 600 PA

$400,000 x 13/183 = $28,415
Paul was recalled on July 3, and optioned to Triple A on August 4, so he was with the Dodgers for 32 days:
$400,000 x 32/183 = $69,945
2009: His salary is $400,000, and he was recalled on May 7, with 151 days remaining in the regular season.

$1 million signing bonus*

2011: $1.8 million
*Based on the report from Ken Rosenthal & Jon Paul Morosi of Fox Sports, Carroll is being paid $1.35 million in 2010, and $2.5 million in 2011, so I am counting the signing bonus as broken out into $300,000 in 2010 and $700,000 in 2011 (per Tim Dierkes at MLB Trade Rumors and Maury Brown of The Business of Baseball, we find out that in 2011 the signing bonus is spread out as $300,000 in January and $400,000 in December)

2010: $14.1 million ($13 million base salary plus $1.1 million of signing bonus)
2010: His salary is $411,000, and he was outrighted to Triple A on June 30, meaning he was on the big league roster for .

2009: His salary is $400,000, and his contract was purchased on August 11, with 55 days left in the regular season.
$400,000 x 55/183 = $120,219
16) John Ely: Ely's 2010 salary is $400,000. The Dodgers recalled Ely on April 28. He was optioned to Triple A on May 7. However, he was recalled on May 10, and since it was inside of 10 days, the option doesn't count, and Ely gets credit and pay as if he was never optioned. Ely was optioned to Triple A on July 11. From April 28 through July 11 is 74 days:
$400,000 x 74/183 = $161,749

17) Jonathan Broxton: signed a two-year deal for $11 million (breakdown via Dylan Hernandez):
2010: $4 million
2011: $7 million
Broxton also has incentives that could add up to $500,000 to his 2011 salary, based on his 2010 performance (per Dylan Hernandez):

$400,000 for 64 games finished or 2nd place in Rolaids Relief Man standings
$300,000 for 60 games finished or 3rd place in Rolaids Relief Man standings
$200,000 for 56 games finished or 4th place in Rolaids Relief Man standings
$100,000 for 53 games finished or 5th place in Rolaids Relief Man standings
Per Hernandez, "The escalators are non-cumulative, so if, say, Broxton finishes 64 games and is fourth in the Rolaids standings this year, he would get an extra $400,000 in 2011."
The Rolaids Relief Man award (one award for each league) is based on a point a point system, calculated as follows:
2 points for a win
3 points for a save
(-2) points for a loss
(-2) points for a blown save
1 extra point for a "tough save" (entering the game with tying run on base)

Belisario was activated on August 10, with 55 days left in the regular season.
$412,500 x 55/183 = $123,975
21) Carlos Monasterios: He was acquired in the 2009 Rule 5 draft by the Mets from the Phillies, then sold to the Dodgers for roughly $60,000 (per Dylan Hernandez). His 2010 salary is the major league minimum of $400,000.
22) Ramon Ortiz: According to Dylan Hernandez (here and here), Ramon Ortiz will earn $1 million if he's in the majors, with a potential for $1.05M based on games started or $100,000 based on relief appearances.
Ortiz was designated for assignment on May 27. He declined a minor league assignment, and became a free agent on June 7, meaning he gets credit for 64 days service time:
$1,000,000 x 64/183 = $349,727
2009: $25 million
2010: $20 million player option (exercised his 2010 option on October 28, per Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated)
Manny's suspension means he won't be paid for the 50 game days he will miss, so his $25,000,000 salary is paid for only 133 of the 183 days of the regular season: $25,000,000 x 133/183 = $18,169,399
Manny was claimed off waivers by the White Sox on August 30, with 35 days left in the season, meaning the White Sox are on the hook for:
$20,000,000 x 35/183 = $3,825,137
The 2010 salary is deferred from 2011-2013, so the savings is as follows:
2011 (25%): $956,284
2012 (50%): $1,912,568
2013 (25%): $956,284
There is a ton of deferred money in this contract, and the total payout of Manny's salary will be as follows (much thanks to Tony Jackson):
2009: $7,267,760 ($10m base, less suspension)
2010: $7,267,760 ($10m deferred from 2009, less suspension)
2011: $7,677,596 ($5m deferred from 2009, less suspension, plus $5m deferred from 2010, less CWS portion)
2012: $8,087,432 (deferred from 2010, less CWS portion)
2013: $4,043,716 (deferred from 2010, less CWS portion)
2010: a minor league deal, worth $800,000 if in the majors, plus up to $100,000 in performance incentives. (per Dylan Hernandez)
2009: a minor league deal, Weaver is vying for a bullpen role and will earn $500,000 if he makes the big club. (per Ken Gurnick)
His major league salary is $500,000, and he was recalled on April 30, with 158 days remaining in the regular season.
$500,000 x 158/183 = $431,694
25) Brad Ausmus: signed a one-year deal on January 26, 2010 with an mutual option for 2011:
2010: $850,000 base salary, plus $100,000 in incentives (per Dylan Hernandez):
Annually (2010-2011)
$50,000 for 150 PA
$50,000 for 175 PA
$50,000 for 200 PA
$50,000 for 225 PA
2011: $1 million mutual option; if either side declines option, buyout is $150,000.
2009: potential for $350,000 in incentives (confirmed via email from Tony Jackson):
$25,000 for 150 PA
$25,000 for 175 PA
$25,000 for 200 PA
$25,000 for 225 PA
$25,000 for 250 PA
$25,000 for 300 PA
$50,000 for 350 PA
$50,000 for 400 PA
$100,000 for 450 PA
2010: His salary is $404,500, and he was on the opening day roster (on the DL). He was outrighted to AAA on July 1, so he was on the MLB roster for 88 days.
$404,500 x 88/183 = $194,514
2009: His salary is $402,500, and he was on the opening day roster. He was optioned to AAA after the game on June 27, so he was on the MLB roster for 84 days.
$402,500 x 84/183 = $184,754
Wade was recalled on July 8, and was optioned to AAA on August 2, so he was on the MLB roster for 25 days.
$402,500 x 25/183 = $54,986
27) Jon Link: Link's 2010 salary is $400,000. The Dodgers recalled Link on April 18, and optioned to Albuquerque on April 21. He was recalled on April 25 to replace the injured Vicente Padilla, and since it was within 10 days of being optioned Link gets credit for those days as if he was never optioned. Link was optioned to Triple A on April 28, so he got credit for 10 days of major league service:
$400,000 x 10/183 = $21,858
Link was then recalled on June 7, for just one day, getting optioned on June 8:
$400,000 x 1/183 = $2,186
Link was then recalled on June 25, and was optioned on June 28, so he was with the club for 3 days:
$400,000 x 3/183 = $6,557
Link was then recalled on July 11, and was optioned after the game July 18, so he was with the club for 8 days:
$400,000 x 8/183 = $17,846
Link was then recalled on September 6, with 28 days left in the regular season:
$400,000 x 28/183 = $61,202
2010: His salary is estimated to be $405,000, and he was recalled on July 19 with 77 days left in the regular season.
$405,000 x 77/183 = $170,410
2009: His salary is $400,750, and he was on the major league roster from opening day through May 14, for a total of 40 days.
$400,750 x 40/183 = $87,596
He was recalled on June 19, with 108 days remaining in the regular season.
$400,750 x 108/183 = $236,508
2009: His salary is $400,000, and he was recalled on May 2. He was optioned to AAA on July 30, so he was on the MLB roster for 89 days.
$400,000 x 89/183 = $194,536
2010: His salary is estimated to be $400,000, and he was on the major league roster from May 28 through May 30, for a total of 3 days.
$400,00 x 3/183 = $6,557
2009: His salary is $400,000, and he was on the major league roster from April 18 through April 29, for a total of 12 days.
$400,000 x 12/183 = $26,230
Elbert was recalled on July 11, and was optioned to AAA on July 20, for a total of 9 days on the MLB roster.
$400,000 x 9/183 = $19,672
Elbert was recalled on July 30, , and was optioned to AAA on August 8, for a total of 9 days on the MLB roster.
$400,000 x 9/183 = $19,672
Elbert was recalled on September 1, with 34 days left in the regular season.
$400,000 x 34/183 = $74,317
2010: I am estimating his salary as $401,000, and he was recalled on June 17, with Furcal on the bereavement list. Hu was optioned on June 23, so he was with the club for 6 days:
$401,000 x 6/183 = $13,148
Hu was then recalled on September 6, with 28 days left in the regular season:
$400,000 x 28/183 = $61,202
2009: His salary is $401,000, and he was recalled on September 13, with 22 days left in the regular season.
$401,000 x 22/183 = $48,208
2010: His salary is estimated to be $400,000, and he was recalled on May 31. He was optioned to Triple A on June 3, so he was with the club for 3 days:
$400,000 x 3/183 = $6,557
He was called up again on June 16, and was optioned on June 24, so he was with the club for 8 days:
$400,000 x 8/183 = $17,486
He was called up again on July 3, and was optioned on August 1, so he was with the club for 29 days:
$400,000 x 29/183 = $63,388
He was recalled again on August 20, with 45 days left in the season:
$400,000 x 46/183 = $98,361
2009: His salary is $400,000, and he was recalled on May 31. He was optioned before the game on June 20, so he spent 20 days on the roster.
$400,000 x 20/183 = $43,716
2010: Hoffmann was selected by the Nationals in the 2009 Rule 5 draft, then traded to the Yankees. The Dodgers received $50,000 per draft rules. Hoffmann must remain on the Yankees' active roster or disabled list all season, or he would have to clear waivers then be offered back to the Dodgers for $25,000.
He was returned to the Dodgers on March 22.
2009: His salary is $400,000, and he was recalled on May 22. He was optioned to AAA on June 15, so he was on the MLB roster for 24 days.
$400,000 x 24/183 = $52,459
34) Juan Pierre: Traded to the White Sox on December 15, 2009. Per Buster Olney of ESPN, the Dodgers are paying:
- $7 million of his $10 million salary in 2010*
- $3.5 million of his $8.5 million salary in 2011
*It is a little more complicated, as pointed out by Jon Paul Morosi of Fox Sports, "When they traded Juan Pierre to the White Sox, they transferred $3 million of Pierre’s 2010 salary into a bonus to be paid starting in 2012."
35) Andruw Jones: From a $17.1 million 2009 salary, Andruw's release "is expected to shave $12 million from the Dodgers' 2009 payroll and cut Jones' salary next season to about $5 million," (per Bill Shaikin) so I'm counting Andruw's 2009 base salary as $5.1 million.
Per Ken Gurnick, the Dodgers owe Jones $3.6 million in 2010, which would leave $13.5m remaining on his contract. For purposes of this worksheet, I'm spreading that evenly over the four years remaining on his deferral ($3.375 milliion in each of 2011-2014).
Jones signed a minor league deal plus incentives with Texas; the Dodgers receive 50% of any salary earned with the Rangers. The contract details (per Joel Sherman of the NY Post):
$500,000 salary if he makes the team
Andruw can opt out by March 20 if not on the 40-man roster$75,000 for 340 plate appearances

Hudson collected all incentives except for $10,000 for falling one plate appearance short of 632.
*Beginning with 550 PA, each subsequent incentive is deferred without interest to a time not yet designated (again, I will count this for 2010 until I hear otherwise)
39) Russ Ortiz: Signed a minor league deal for 2010 that will pay him $650,000 if in the majors. "He can earn an additional $1.05 million in incentives based on number of games started and $150,000 based on relief appearances." (per Dylan Hernandez and Bill Shaikin).
The Dodgers purchased Ortiz's contract on April 5. Ortiz was designated for assignment on April 18. He declined a minor league assignment on April 22, electing to become a free agent. Ortiz was a Dodger for 18 days:
$650,000 x 18/183 = $63,934.
2009: $1.35 million base salary plus incentives. Technically a minor league deal, but "Ohman can opt out of the contract if he is not promoted by April 14." (per Dylan Hernandez)
$325,000 based on games pitched
$100,000 based on games finished
2010 option for $2.2 million ($2.3 million base with 80 games finished in 2009) plus incentives:
$375,000 based on games pitched
$100,000 based on games finished
The Dodgers declined the 2010 option for Ohman on October 16.
2010: signed a one-year deal for 2010 for $500,000, per Jon Paul Morosi of Fox Sports. Repko also has $137,500 in incentives (per Tony Jackson):
$12,500 for 100 PA
$25,000 for 150 PA
$25,000 for 200 PA
$25,000 for 250 PA
$25,000 for 300 PA
$25,000 for 350 PA
Repko was released on April 2. Because he was released within 15 days of opening day, Repko was paid 45 days termination pay:
$500,000 x 45/183 = $122,951
2009: potential for $87,500 in incentives (per Tony Jackson)
$12,500 for 100 PA
$25,000 for 150 PA
$25,000 for 250 PA
$25,000 for 350 PA
42) Armando Zerpa: He was acquired in the 2009 Rule 5 draft by the Rays from the Red Sox, then sold to the Dodgers for roughly $60,000 (per Dylan Hernandez)
Zerpa was reclaimed by the Red Sox on March 15. The Dodgers received $25,000 (half the fee to draft a Rule 5 player) from Boston.
2010: His major league salary was to be $410,000 (per Ken Gurnick), but he was sold to the Hiroshima Carp on April 3. A source confirmed the Dodgers received $400,000 from the Carp for Stults.
2009: His salary is $402,000, and he was recalled on April 11. He was optioned to AAA on July 2, so he was on the MLB roster for 82 days
$402,000 x 82/183 = $180,131
He was recalled on August 9, and optioned to AAA on August 11, so he was on the MLB roster for 2 days.
$402,000 x 2/183 = $4,393
2009: potential for $300k in incentives (per Diamond Leung)
$75,000 for 30 games finished
$75,000 for 40 GF
$75,000 for 50 GF
$75,000 for 60 GF
2009: potential for $200k in incentives (per ESPN.com)
$25,000 for 250 PA
$25,000 for 300 PA
$50,000 for 400 PA
$100,000 for 450 PA
2009: traded by White Sox to Dodgers on August 31, with 34 days remaining in the regular season. His contract called for $13 million for 2009.
$13,000,000 x 34/183 = $2,415,301
Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported the Dodgers are responsible for only $1 million, with the White Sox picking up the remaining $1,415,301
2010: He signed a minor league deal on July 27, after being released by the Phillies.
His major league salary is estimated to be the major league minimum of $400,000, and his contract was purchased on August 11. He was designated for assignment on August 21; I am unsure of the date he was outrighted to Triple A (Castro didn't report for "personal issues"), but I am assuming that date was August 25, meaning he accrued 15 days of MLB salary.
$400,000 x 15/183 = $32,787
2009: a minor league deal. He will earn $700,000 in the majors and can ask for his release if not on the 40-man roster by June 30 (per Troy Renck of the Denver Post).
His major league salary is $700,000, and his contract was purchased on April 13, with 175 days remaining in the regular season.
$700,000 x 175/183 = $669,399
If in the minors, Castro will earn $81,000. Castro also has incentives of up to $175,000 (per the Associated Press):
$25,000 for 300 plate appearances
$25,000 for 350 PA
$25,000 for 400 PA
$50,000 for 450 PA
$50,000 for 500 PA
2009: also on a minor league deal, Milton is vying for either the 5th starter spot or a bullpen role. "If added to the 40-man roster, the pitcher would get a one-year contract calling for $650,000 in the majors and $72,000 in the minors. He could earn an additional $1.05 million based on starts five through 30, and $150,000 based on relief appearances 50 through 70." (per Associated Press)
His major league salary is $650,000, and he was recalled on May 15, with 143 days remaining in the regular season.
$650,000 x 143/183 = $507,923
Per Cot's Contracts, Milton will also earn:
$50,000 for 5 games started - achieved June 27$100,000 for 10 GS
$150,000 for 15 GS
$200,000 for 20 GS$250,000 for 25 GS

$50,000 for 70 relief appearances
2009: signed a minor league deal, and made $550,000 by making the club, plus an additional $200,000 in incentives based on plate appearances. "If Mientkiewicz isn't on the 25-man roster by April 6, the Dodgers would have to grant him his request for a release or add him the major-league roster within six hours" (per Dylan Hernandez)
2009: potential for an additional $1.4 million in incentives (confirmed via email from Tony Jackson):$50,000 for 5 games started

Vargas was traded to Milwaukee on July 31, meaning he was a Dodger (including time on the disabled list) for 118 days.
$400,000 x 118/183 = $257,923
Any remaining incentives Vargas might achieve while with Milwaukee will be paid by the Brewers.
2009: His salary is $400,000, and his contract was purchased on June 16, and was designated for assignment on July 2, so he was on the MLB roster for 16 days. He gets credit for the 10-day DFA period, which pushes the total service time to 26 days.
$400,000 x 26/183 = $56,831
2009: His salary is $406,000, and he was traded to Pittsburgh on April 14, meaning he was a Dodger for a total of 10 days.
$406,000 x 10/183 = $22,186
2009: His salary is $400,000, and he was called up on August 7. He was optioned to AAA on August 9, meaning he was on the MLB roster for 2 days.
$400,000 x 2/183 = $4,372
He was recalled on August 19, and optioned to AAA on August 27, so he was on the MLB roster for 8 days.
$400,000 x 8/183 = $17,486
Abreu was sent to the Diamondbacks as the player to be named later on October 9, to complete the August 31 trade for Jon Garland.
Signed a one-year contract on November 26, with a vesting club option for 2012. Details per Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times:
$1 million signing bonus, to be paid in 2012
2011: $3.5 million base salary, plus performance bonuses:
$500,000 for 150 IP
$500,000 for 160 IP
$525,000 for 170 IP
$1,000,000 for 180 IP
$1,000,000 for 190 IP
2012: $8 million club option, which vests if Garland pitches "190 innings and avoid landing on the disabled list in September because of an injury to his right arm" in 2011. If the option doesn't vest, the Dodgers can exercise the option or pay Garland a $500,000 buyout. The 2012 contract also has performance bonuses:
$250,000 for 185 IP
$250,000 for 190 IP
2009: traded by Diamondbacks to Dodgers on August 31, with 34 days remaining in the regular season. His contract called for $6.25 million for 2009.
$6,250,000 x 34/183 = $1,161,202
Garland also has a $10 million mutual option for 2010. If the Dodgers decline the option, the buyout is $2.5 million. If Garland declines the option, the buyout is $1 million. Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reported the Diamondbacks are paying all of Garland's remaining salary for 2009, as well as any option buyout, so the total paid by Garland will be between $2,161,202 and $3,661,202.
