PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Phillies declined club options for next season on outfielders Odúbel Herrera and Andrew McCutchen. 

Herrera gets a $2.5 million buyout rather than a $11.5 million salary, completing a $30.5 million, five-year contract. He is eligible for salary arbitration. 

McCutchen, signed as a free agent to a $50 million, three-year contract in December 2018, gets a $3 million buyout instead of a $15 million salary. 

He hit .237 with 47 homers and 143 RBIs in three seasons in Philadelphia. He will become a free agent. 

Herrera hit .274 in six seasons with the Phillies.

Both players are expected to enter free agency.
