NEW YORK -- Jeff Shaw's $7.05 million option was declined Friday by the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the reliever was among three players to file for free agency.

Atlanta outfielder Bernard Gilkey and Milwaukee reliever Lance Painter also filed, raising the total of free agents to 145 among the 158 players potentially eligible. The remainder can file through Nov. 20.

Shaw, 35, gets a $1.5 million buyout. The right-hander was 3-5 with a 3.62 ERA and had 43 saves in 52 chances last season. He has 203 career saves, including 129 since the Dodgers acquired him from Cincinnati in 1998.

"We felt there were other options out there that we preferred at this time," new Dodgers general manager Dan Evans said. "It'll be difficult to replace his save total, but I'm confident we will."

Los Angeles exercised a $675,000 option on infielder Dave Hansen and a $450,000 option on shortstop Jeff Reboulet. Both would have been eligible for free agency if their options had been declined.

The Dodgers declined a $575,000 option on infielder Tim Bogar, who spent most of last season on the disabled list. He receives a $25,000 buyout and can become a free agent.
