San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Cristian Espinoza is out of contract and eligible for free agency, the club announced Wednesday.

The 30-year-old Argentine joined San Jose ahead of the 2019 season and has recorded 36g/70a in 218 regular-season matches. Espinoza has twice earned MLS All-Star honors, including this past season (2023, '25).

Additionally, Venezuelan striker Josef Martínez had his contract option declined after tallying 14g/2a in 30 games this past season with San Jose. The former Landon Donovan MLS MVP and Golden Boot presented by Audi winner is also eligible for free agency.

For select players who are either out of contract or had their options declined, conversations about returning to the Earthquakes in 2026 are still ongoing.
