Last night at 12:00 AM was the deadline for MLB teams to determine who they would be offering contracts to for the 2016 season and who they would be non-tendering. Of course, being the Yankees, the team didn't announce their decisions until today. They have decided to non-tender pitching prospect Domingo German, removing him from the 40-man roster and making him a free agent.
Signing with the Marlins before the 2010 season, German was the prospect that was acquired alongside Nathan Eovaldi and Garrett Jones last offseason. He was acquired with the knowledge that he might require Tommy John surgery that year and after some rehab time, the right-hander ultimately went under the knife.
