The St. Louis River Walkers have announced that veteran catcher Jared Thomas has voided the final year of his contract and filed for free agency.
Thomas, 34, has been the primary catcher for the Walkers since 2024.
He signed a six-year deal worth $19.8 million before the 2029 season.
His decision to void the final year of the contract came as a surprise as the 2034 campaign was not one of his best.
Injuries limited him to just 116 games, during which he hit .255 with 10 homers and 47 RBIs.
It also was a bit surprising Forgy exercised his option.
The 30-year-old left-hander, who was due to make $2.5 million next season, was 1-1 with five saves and a 4.47 ERA in 52 games.
Numbers well below what he put up in his first two seasons in St. Louis.
Nova, 34, spent just one season with the Walkers.
He started well, but faded after the All-Star break.
Nova ended up hitting .252 with seven homers and 42 RBIs in 142 games.
He was scheduled to make $6 million, if his option had been picked up.
