MILWAUKEE — Gary Sánchez’s $11 million mutual option for 2025 was declined by the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, making the catcher a free agent.

Milwaukee also traded utilityman Owen Miller to the Colorado Rockies for cash.

Miller, who turns 28 on Nov. 15, played just 14 games with Milwaukee this season and hit .185 with a .185 on-base percentage, no homers and three RBIs. He hit .276 with a .354 on-base percentage, five homers, 37 RBIs and nine steals in 91 games with Triple-A Nashville.
