Angels opt to non-tender Shoemaker, Parker

The Angels have parted ways with two notable members of their pitching staff, as they non-tendered right-handers Matt Shoemaker and Blake Parker ahead of Friday's deadline to offer contracts to arbitration-eligible players.

Shoemaker and Parker, who were projected to earn a combined $7.4 million in arbitration next year by MLB Trade Rumors, will now hit the free-agent market. The moves do not preclude the pair from re-signing with the Angels.

The club's eight remaining arbitration-eligible players -- Tyler Skaggs, Andrew Heaney, Jose Alvarez, JC Ramirez, Nick Tropeano, Cam Bedrosian, Hansel Robles and Tommy La Stella -- were tendered contracts.
