The 34-year-old came to the Cardinals from the Los Angeles Dodgers in a trade-deadline deal in July and batted .255 over 50 regular season games down the stretch.
Furcal struggled in the post-season even as the Cardinals went on to win the 2011 World Series.
The two-time all-star infielder hit .300 in 2010 while scoring 92 runs over 150 games the previous year despite a series of injuries.
