As it turns out, Wes Helms got traded for $1. That is all the Marlins had to give the Phillies, who agreed to pay his $2.4 million salary this season. (He is under contract next season, though the Marlins could buy him out.)
The buyout is $750,000, so if the Marlins decide to release him, they pay a total of $750,001 for Helms. I hope the Phillies GM enjoy his happy meal.
