The Marlins aren't going to move him without ditching nearly all of that salary. And if the Dodgers refuse to exceed the cap, he's not going to LAD.
I suspect he relents and goes to SF. He marks time for 3 years, opts out and then goes to LAD in 2021. It's the path of least resistance.

what about the idea that we pay the Dodgers money to keep them under the luxury tax and they send us some talent?
