Rockies finalize 1-year deal with infielder Thairo Estrada
DENVER (AP) — Thairo Estrada and 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 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.
