Dodgers Are Paying $8 Million to Giants Starter Scott Kazmir

Saturday evenings game between the Dodgers and Giants will feature a pretty cool story. San Francisco called up left-handed pitcher Scott Kazmir to make the start, and it will be his first big league appearance since 2016. Kazmir is 37-years-old and many thought his playing days were well behind him.

But Saturday’s game also features a pretty funny twist as well. Kazmir will pitch for the Giants, but he will get paid (mostly) by the Dodgers. It’s one of those odd scenarios that you don’t see too often, especially when a player has been out of the game as long as he has.
