Wilson is eyeing a return to baseball as a knuckleballer, Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports reports.
It's been two and a half years since Wilson last pitched in the big leagues, before the Dodgers released him with $9.5 million still owed. He said he has been working on his knuckleball and has pitched for at least two clubs in the last two weeks. He'll look to revive his career like many past knuckleballers, and he'll likely get a shot to do so at a team's camp.
Dodgers officially cut ties on Friday with relief pitcher Brian Wilson, releasing the right-hander.
The Dodgers have released Wilson, as the new management is overhauling the roster. Wilson hasn\'t met the expectations of the Dodgers and his contract, so he\'ll be released. He should be picked up by another team in search of bullpen help.
Dodgers designate RHP Brian Wilson for assignment.
With the Brandon McCarthy signing made official, the Dodgers needed to clear a roster spot. The team will simply eat the $9.5 million owed to Wilson who struggled mightily last year (4.66 ERA, 1.61 WHIP) and was unlikely to be a part of the bullpen this season.
Dodgers front office is not enamored with righty Brian Wilson.
Wilson has been a disappointment since joining the Dodgers, so the fact that the team is not happy with him should come at no surprise. He will never be the player he once was with the Giants, so don\'t expect him to be fantasy relevant anytime soon.
