DENVER—The Colorado Rockies have agreed to a one-year contract with left-handed reliever Alan Embree with a mutual option for 2010.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
Embree went 2-5 with a 4.96 ERA in 70 games for the Oakland Athletics last season. Oakland had declined its $3 million option on him.
The 38-year-old has played on nine major-league teams including Oakland. The Rockies are his 10th.
He pitched in two World Series, with Cleveland in 1995 and with Boston in 2004.
Also Saturday, the Rockies said infielder Jonathan Herrera signed a minor-league contract with the team, with a non-roster invitation to spring training with the Rockies.
