Diamondbacks declined infielder Chad Tracy's $7 million option for 2010.
Tracy gets a $1 million buyout instead and becomes a free agent after hitting just .237/.306/.389 while playing fewer than 100 games for the third straight season. He hasn't been healthy and productive since 2006, will be 30 years old next season and is no longer a realistic option defensively at third base, so Tracy may have to settle for a bench job this winter.
