The Toronto Blue Jays have decided to exercise their $8 million club option on Justin Smoak.

The Blue Jays could have payed Smoak a $250,000 buyout.

Smoak initially signed a two-year, $8.5 million extension with the Blue Jays in the summer of 2016.

The Colorado Rockies have declined their $12.5 million club option on Gerardo Parra for the 2019 season.

Instead, the Rockies will pay Parra a $1.5 million buyout.

Parra signed a three-year, $27.5 million contract with the Rockies prior to the 2016 season.

J.T. Realmuto has no desire to remain with the Miami Marlins and will "definitely be wearing a different uniform by the start of spring training," according to his agent.

"J.T. has informed the Marlins' ownership, he's informed their front office, he's not going to sign an extension in Miami," agent Jeff Berry told MLB Network Radio. "It makes sense, when you have one of the more valuable trade assets in baseball, to move him. Period."

Realmuto is under team control for two more seasons -- though he is eligible for arbitration in both 2019 and 2020 -- before he becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2021.

The New York Yankees are "lukewarm" to the idea of signing Manny Machado in free agency this offseason.

The San Francisco Giants have exercised Madison Bumgarner's $12 million option for 2019.

They also exercised Pablo Sandoval's option for the $555,000 minimum.

Bumgarner signed a six-year, $35.56 million deal in April 2012 that included $12 million club options for the 2018 and '19 seasons.

Sandoval, the 2012 World Series MVP, is recovering from right hamstring surgery and didn't play after July 29.

The Washington Nationals have exercised a $6 million club option on closer Sean Doolittle for next season.

Doolittle's contract also carries a club option for 2020 at $6.5 million.

The 32-year-old had 25 saves and a 3-3 record with a 1.60 ERA in 43 appearances this season.

Bryce Harper becomes a free agent ten days from now with the World Series over.

When asked by the YES Network where his client would sign, Scott Boras played some mind games with the media.

"We know who the team is," Boras joked to Michael Kay. "It's already completed and done, but Bryce has told me that he wanted to tell you personally."

Clayton Kershaw has three days to decide whether to opt into the remainder of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, which would pay him $65 million over the next two years.

Kershaw gave up four runs over seven innings in Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday night.
