Most of the time, a team’s non-tender decision deadline is a mere formality. It provides fans a specific day to talk about the future of the roster, but precious little actually happens that changes the perceived immediate future of the franchise. Then you get days like yesterday - a day where Mike Hazen made five contract tendering decisions, four of which came as something of a surprise. While the team was always expected to non-tender Caleb Joseph, it surprised more than a few that the team also elected to non-tender both Steven Souza, Jr. and Taijuan Walker.
