Rockies | To offer Betancourt arbitration The Denver Post's Troy E. Renck reports the Colorado Rockies will offer RP Rafael Betancourt arbitration. Since Betancourt is a Type A free agent, it should deter other teams from signing him. Rockies | Fox, Rincon file for free agency The Sports Network reports Colorado Rockies RPs Chad Fox and Juan Rincon filed for free agency Friday, Nov. 13. Rockies | Betancourt's option declined Thomas Harding, of MLB.com, reports the Colorado Rockies declined their $5 million option for the 2010 season on RP Rafael Betancourt Friday, Nov. 13, making him a free agent.

Renck, of The Denver Post, reports the Colorado Rockies are expected to decline their $5 million option on RP Rafael Betancourt. However, they are attempting to sign him to a two-year deal. If he declines a multi-year deal and becomes a free agent, the team will offer him salary arbitration. Rockies | Spilborghs a trade candidate Troy E. Renck, of The Denver Post, reports Colorado Rockies OF Ryan Spilborghs could be traded in the offseason if the team is content with OF Matt Murton. Rockies | Have nine arbitration-eligible players Troy E. Renck, of The Denver Post, reports Colorado Rockies 3B Garrett Atkins, RP Taylor Buchholz, 2B Clint Barmes, SP Jorge De La Rosa, SP Jason Hammel, C Chris Iannetta, OF Matt Murton, OF Ryan Spilborghs and RP Huston Street are all eligible for arbitration this year. The team is expected to approach Barmes with a multi-year deal. Rockies | Haven't talked to Torrealba The Denver Post's Troy E. Renck and Patrick Saunders reports the Colorado Rockies haven't talked to C Yorvit Torrealba since they declined his option. Torrealba turned down the two-year, $4.5 million offer before the team declined his $4 million option. There's still a chance he could return. Rockies | Several options with Atkins Thomas Harding, of MLB.com, reports the Colorado Rockies are expected to either trade, release or non-tender 3B Garrett Atkins. Rockies | Interested in re-signing three Thomas Harding, of MLB.com, reports the Colorado Rockies are interested in re-signing RP Jose Contreras, RP Joe Beimel and C Yorvit Torrealba. Rockies | No urgency to move Hawpe Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi, of FOXSports.com, report the Colorado Rockies will listen to trade offers for OF Brad Hawpe, but have no urgency to move him, according to major league sources. Some team officials think he could succeed 1B Todd Helton at first base in 2012 if he signs a contract extension. The Rockies would likely want a right-handed hitting outfielder and a reliable seventh-inning reliever in exchange for Hawpe. Rockies | Want to ink Barmes to two-year deal The Denver Post reports the Colorado Rockies could begin discussions on a two-year deal with IF Clint Barmes soon. Rockies | Three file for free agency CBSSports.com reports Colorado Rockies RP Matt Herges, RP Jose Contreras and SP Josh Fogg filed for free agency Monday, Nov. 9. Rockies | Beimel files for free agency Tom Singer, of MLB.com, reports Colorado Rockies RP Joe Beimel filed for free agency Monday, Nov. 9. He qualifies as a Type B free agent. Rockies | O'Dowd disputes De La Rosa report The Denver Post reports Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd said the three-year, $36 million deal that SP Jorge De La Rosa was rumored to be seeking was a little high. He said the team was more likely to sign him to a one-year deal to avoid arbitration. Rockies | O'Dowd honored The Denver Post reports Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd was named executive of the year by the Sporting News in a vote by his peers. Rockies | Torrealba rejects two-year offer SI.com's Jon Heyman reports free agent C Yorvit Torrealba (Rockies) rejected a two-year, $4.5 million offer from the Colorado Rockies. Rockies | Rosario named AFL Player of the Week Lisa Winston, of MLB.com, reports Colorado Rockies C Wilin Rosario was named the Arizona Fall League Player of the Week for the period ending Sunday, Nov. 8. He hit .545 during the week, hitting three home runs, driving in four runs and scoring six runs. Rockies | Corpas, Buchholz removed from DL CBSSports.com reports the Colorado Rockies have removed RPs Manuel Corpas (elbow) and Taylor Buchholz (elbow) from the 60-day disabled list. Rockies | Believe Smith will contribute The Denver Post's Patrick Saunders reports Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd said he believes SP Greg Smith will contribute in 2010. Rockies | Betancourt rejects offer FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports RP Rafael Betancourt rejected a two-year deal worth between $6.5 million and $7 million from the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies still could offer Betancourt arbitration, figuring he would receive less than the value of his $5.4 million club option. Betancourt projects as a Type A free agent, which makes it doubtful another team would sign him and forfeit high picks. Rockies | Atkins nearly a lock to be non-tendered FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports Colorado Rockies 3B Garrett Atkins is a virtual lock to be non-tendered because he's nearly untradeable. He would likely receive a raise from his $7.05 million salary in arbitration. Rockies | Would entertain offers for De La Rosa FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports the Colorado Rockies are open to listening to offers for SP Jorge De La Rosa, who is one year away from free agency. De La Rosa, according to one source, wants to be paid like New York Mets SP Oliver Perez, who signed a three-year, $36 million contract last winter. However, De La Rosa has an inconsistent track record. Rockies | Negotiating with Betancourt The Denver Post's Troy E. Renck reports the Colorado Rockies are negotiating a multi-year deal with RP Rafael Betancourt. Rockies | Fogg let go The Denver Post's Troy E. Renck reports the Colorado Rockies won't re-sign SP Josh Fogg as they informed him the club is going a different direction. Rockies | Decline Embree's option MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports that the Colorado Rockies have declined a $3 million option on RP Alan Embree for the 2010 season. He received a $250,000 buyout. Rockies | Decline Torrealba's option MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports that the Colorado Rockies declined a $4 million option on C Yorvit Torrealba's contract for the 2010 season. Although the team gave Torrealba a $500,000 buyout, they are expected to make an attempt to retain him. Rockies | Belisle, Flores have incentive clauses Updating previous reports, The Denver Post's Troy E. Renck reports Colorado Rockies RP Matt Belisle can make an additional $275,000 in incentives for games pitched beginning at 55 and ending at 75.
