Rockies decline the option on Daniel Murphy
The Colorado Rockies have declined infielder Daniel Murphy’s $12 million option, bringing a close to his two-year stint with the team. Murphy will receive a $6 million buyout. The 35-year-old never really flourished at hitter-friendly Coors Field after signing a $24 million, two-year deal in December 2018. He hit .269 with 16 homers and 94 RBIs in 172 games with the Rockies.
