Rockies finalize 1-year deal with infielder Thairo Estrada

DENVER (AP) Thairo Estrada the Colorado Rockies finalized a one-year contract Thursday, a deal that includes a mutual option for 2026.

Primarily a second baseman during the last three seasons, the 28-year-old hit .217 with nine homers and 47 RBIs last year with the San Francisco Giants.

He was assigned outright to Triple-A Sacramento on Aug.

30 and on Oct.

1 elected to become a free agent, his right as a player with at least three years of major league service.

Estrada has a .251 average with 48 homers, 195 RBIs and 52 stolen bases in 469 games over parts of six seasons with the New York Yankees (2019-20) and the Giants (2021-24).

He also has played shortstop, third base and all three outfield spots.

In November, Colorado agreed on a guaranteed $3.25 million, one-year deal with Kyle Farmer in the wake of of the organization's decision to not offer a contract to Brendan Rodgers.

The decision made the former first-round pick a free agent, and he remains on the market.
