2014: $2.3 million
With 62 days left in the season at the time of the trade and with the Cubs sending $500,000 as part of the trade, the Dodgers are responsible for just under $280,000 for the remainder of the season for Barney.

$800,000 x 174/183 = $760,656
Huff elected free agency on Oct. 13, 2015.

I don't have Lee's 2016 salary, but I am estimating $510,000, as he entered the year with eight days of service time.
2016: $510,000

$507,500 x 6/183 = $16,639

$515,000 x 172/183 = $484,044

The Marlins agreed to pay the Dodgers $2,562,842 on Oct. 15, 2016 to cover Morse's 2015 remaining salary.
One day later, Morse was traded with case to the Pirates on July 31, 2015 in exchange for Jose Tabata, meaning he was on the roster for one day.
$7,000,000 x 1/183 = $38,251.
The Dodgers agreed to pay the Pirates to cover part of Morse's salary, essentially making it a cash-neutral deal
The Dodgers took on $6,192,623 in guaranteed money in Tabata, with roughly $10,524,591 left on Morse's deal, so I'm counting $4,331,968 as going to Pittsburgh.
Juan Nicasio

Urias had his contract purchased from Triple-A on May 27, then optioned back to the minors on May 28. Urias was called back to the majors on May 31, replacing an injured Alex Wood. Because it was within 10 days, the option doesn't count, and Urias gets paid and accrues service time as if he was never sent down.

$507,500 x 39/183 = $108,156

Utley was acquired from the Phillies in a three-player deal on Aug. 19, 2015, with 46 days left in the regular season.
$10,000,000 x 46/183 = $2,513,661.
The Phillies are sending the Dodgers $383,661 by Oct. 15 as part of the trade, per the Associated Press, and will cover the cost of the $2 million buyout if the Dodgers decline Utley's 2016 option ("on track to be at a price of $11 million.").
The Phillies will also pay all of the $5 million roster bonus to Utley in 2015.
Utley's 2016 club option is worth $11 million, the maximum amount, because he spent at least 125 days on an active roster in 2015.
