The rumor I liked was that the Dodgers were sending Dee Gordon and Dan Haren to Miami for some prospect pitching. The Dodgers offered to pick up all of Haren's salary, mostly because he said that if he's traded away from CA he'll retire.
"Trading a player & agreeing to pay his $10M salary, while knowing there's a good chance you'll pay nothing, is as Andrew Friedman as it gets."
