Rockies Sign Stallings to One-Year Contract

Catcher Jacob Stallings has signed a one-year contract with the Colorado Rockies for the 2025 season, including a mutual option for 2026. The deal includes a $2 million salary and potential performance bonuses based on games played as catcher. Stallings, a 34-year-old veteran, had a standout 2024 season with career-highs in batting average (.263), on-base percentage (.357), slugging percentage (.453), and home runs (nine). Renowned for his defensive skills, Stallings caught 12 runners stealing, ranking 12th among NL catchers, and holds a Major League record for consecutive games without a passed ball. He previously won a Gold Glove in 2021 with the Pittsburgh Pirates and has nine seasons of MLB experience. Stallings is expected to be the primary catcher for the Rockies in 2025, potentially sharing duties with Drew Romo and Hunter Goodman.
