Rockies declined their half of a mutual option with INF Kyle Farmer.

Farmer, who would have been in line for $4 million, gets a $750,000 buyout. The 35-year-old utilityman seemed pretty well done as a useful player with the Twins in 2024, but the Rockies committed $3.25 million to him anyway and watched him hit .227/.280/.365 in 300 plate appearances. He’ll almost certainly have to take a minor league contract if he wants to keep playing.
