The Diamondbacks have declined their $1.24MM option for Henry Blanco, Jack Magruder of FOXSportsArizona.com reports (on Twitter). The 41-year-old Elite Sports Group client is now a free agent.
Blanco appeared in 21 games this past season, posting a .188/.224/.281 batting line in 67 plate appearances. He also spent time on the disabled list with a sprained thumb. The Diamondbacks will seek a durable backup for Miguel Montero, Magruder reports.
