DALLAS — The Rockies have found their second baseman — for 2025, at least.
Colorado agreed to a one-year, big-league contract with veteran Thairo Estrada on Tuesday, a major league source confirmed. The contract is for $3.25 million with a mutual option and a $750,000 buyout. However, if either side declines the mutual option, the Rockies would still have the opportunity to retain Estrada via arbitration for one more year due to Estrada’s Super Two status.
The deal is pending Estrada passing a physical, and the Rockies have not announced a signing.
Mark Feinsand of MLB.com first reported the deal and the contract terms.

Seventeen people indicted in an alleged car theft ring connected to the Sinaloa Cartel are accused of stealing at least 190 vehicles at or near Denver International Airport and taking them to Mexico to exchange for drugs to distribute in the metro, according to the Denver District Attorney’s Office.
The thefts – usually high-end pickup trucks – occurred between September 2022 and February and cost victims $9.5 million, the DA’s office announced Monday.
A grand injury indicted the suspects on 222 charges related to organized crime, auto theft, drug possession and distribution and identity theft after a yearslong investigation by local, state and federal law enforcement, Denver DA Beth McCann said.
“These indictments should send a message that people who steal cars in Denver will be caught and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” McCann said at a news conference Monday.
Eleven of the 17 suspects are in police custody, and the remaining six are believed to be in Colorado, Texas and Mexico.
The sophistication and coordination of the scheme is “something akin to what we might see in a Hollywood movie,” said David Olesky, assistant special agent in charge for the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Rocky Mountain division.
“These weren’t simply individuals looking to steal a car for a joyride.
