Scott Kazmir, Nick Markakis, Matt Kemp, James Shields, & Mitch Moreland Have Cleared Waivers

Some of the players who have cleared waivers and can now be traded anywhere have larger contracts. Players we have confirmed to have cleared include Dodgers lefty Scott Kazmir, who is in the first year of a three-year, $48 million deal and has 10 wins; Baltimore catcher Matt Wieters, who can be a free agent and is working under a qualifying offer of $15.7 million; Braves outfielder Nick Markakis, who has two years at $22 million each remaining on his deal; Braves outfielder Matt Kemp, whose $160 million contract runs through 2019; White Sox starter James Shields (5-15, 5.98 ERA); Texas first baseman Mitch Moreland; and Twins catcher Kurt Suzuki.
