Nope. According to the Star, the contract was structured so that the Jays
are not responsible for the remainder of it if Myers chooses to become a
free agent. They're on the hook for $93,000, which is payment for the time
he actually sat on the bench or played.

Myers was designated for assignment but chose not to accept it. Normally,
that would mean suspension without pay, but in Myers' specific case, he
could opt out of the contract and become a free agent. A highly unusual
contract and perfectly suited to what Myers was trying to accomplish in
likely his last year as active player.

It's a wise move. Zaun is the man and Huck is a fine backup. Stop
complaining. Jays will be fine. I predict 85 wins.
