Dodger wars
‘Los Angeles Dodgers said
Tuesday they dre no longer
obligated to pay outfielder
Dusty Baker the remaining
$1.4 million of his major.
league baseball contract.
- Baker, who played with
the Bodgers for eight
seasons, was released by
the club Feb. 10,
: Dedgers counsel Bob
Walker called . Baker’s
agent, Jerry Kapstein, at
his La Jolla, Calif., office
Tuesday and read him a
‘telegram, which said, in
part, “the. Dodgers do not
have any salary obligation
to Baker for 1984 and 1985.
‘Walker sald: “I read
them the telegram. They
disagreed. Dusty can now
file a grievance, . which
would wind up in front of the
baseball arbitrator.” ”
~The Dodgers gave no
reason for releasing Baker,
34, At the time the club
released him it
acknowledged an obligation
to pay him the remaining
two years of his five-year
contract. -

The Dodgers also offered
to buy Baker out, but thelr
offer was refused.

Had Haker cleared
wajvers, he would have
become a free agent, the
Dodgers would have owed
him the $1.4 million and ke
would have been able to
decide where he was going
to play.

However, San Francisco
Giants claimed Baker last
week, one day before
walvers expired, meaning
they were prepared to
assume his contract.
