This past Wednesday at midnight was the non-tender deadline for the MLB. The Oakland Athletics decided to only non-tender one player – Ike Davis. Sam Fuld, Eric Sogard, and Evan Scribner, who were also on the chopping block, were all able to reach one-year arbitration settlements with the A’s. Even though it is nice to see that some familiar faces will be back with the team next year, the Athletics should have non-tendered more players than just one.
Realistically, the Oakland Athletics should have only tendered Sogard’s contract.
