MLB Trade Rumors released their candidates to be non-tendered by their respective teams this offseason. Three Phillies were included on the list: pitcher Luis Garcia, first baseman Justin Bour, and outfielder Aaron Altherr.
Arbitration-eligible players like these three are to be tendered a contract by their team by Nov. 30. From there, the two sides can work out potential salaries or go to arbitration. If a player is non-tendered, that means they become free agents as their teams don’t see them as worth the price they have to pay.
