Nov 6 The Colorado Rockies have declined their part of mutual options on Torrealba, and they both filed for free agency.

Advice: Torrealba receives a $500,000 buyout instead of a $4 million salary. The 31-year-old Torrealba came up big for the Rockies down the stretch, helping them win the NL wild card for the second time in three years. He hit .291 ands drove in 17 of his 31 RBIs from Sept. 1 on.

Nov 6 The Rockies declined to exercise Torrealba's 2010 option on Friday, the Denver Post reports.

Recommendation: Torrealba will become a free agent, but could end up back with the Rockies at a salary less than the $4 million his option required.
