Holland declines $15M player option
Greg Holland gets Matt Szczur to ground out to Trevor Story to finish off his 41st save of the season, tying a Rockies recordDENVER -- Rockies closer Greg Holland officially turned down his 2018 player option and filed for free agency on Sunday, and infielder Alexi Amarista also filed after the club declined his 2018 option.
Holland, whose 41 saves tied the Dodgers' Kenley Jansen for the National League lead, met incentive thresholds in his contract to earn a $15 million option for 2018. He declined that option as expected, but the Rockies are expected to attempt to re-sign him to a more lucrative deal.
