Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Chris Heisey cleared outright waivers and Friday elected to become a free agent, according to Alanna Rizzo of SportsNet LA.
Heisey would’ve been arbitration-eligible had he remained on the team’s 40-man roster and likely would’ve earned a raise from the $2.16 million he earned in 2015, per Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times.
The 30-year-old outfielder began the season with the Dodgers, was designated for assignment in July, signed a minor league deal with the Toronto Blue Jays in August and then was traded back to the Dodgers in September.
