The Detroit Tigers tendered contracts to eight eligible players for 2022: Jeimer Candelario, Michael Fulmer, Jose Cisnero, Joe Jimenez, Spencer Turnbull, Dustin Garneau, Harold Castro and Victor Reyes.
The only non-tendered player: left-handed pitcher Matthew Boyd, who officially became a free agent at Tuesday's 8 p.m. tender deadline.
Although salaries for 2022 aren't locked in, it's the first step in the process. The Tigers will negotiate contracts with the players through the arbitration process. If the two sides can't agree on a salary, each party must exchange numbers and prepare for an arbitration hearing.
