I’m too lazy to check this out, but it sure seems like there were a lot of non-tenders this year. I attribute it to teams seeing less and less value in what Travis Sawchik would call middle class players. But maybe it’s not really happening.
Anyway, I thought I’d make a list of the players who weren’t tendered contracts at the deadline for offering contracts. (Of course, there are lots of other free agents out there.) I’ll be surprised if the Pirates don’t go after at least a couple of these guys. They’re mainly the type of guy you bring in on a minor league deal with a chance to compete for a roster spot.
