Chris Carter Was Non-Tendered by the Astros, What’s Next?

The gentle giant known as Chris Carter is no longer on the Houston Astros squad after he was non-tendered about 30 minutes before the deadline Wednesday night. If the Astros had offered him a contract, they would have then exchanged numbers for 2016 salary, which they would have had to agree upon before going to arbitration that is always a sticky situation. The team sits in front of an arbiter and has to explain why that player is not worth the money they are asking. It was estimated by MLBTR that he would have earned $5.
