The Pittsburgh Pirates have announced that they've non-tendered Jeff Locke and Eric Fryer, and have tendered contracts for the 2017 season to every other available player on the 40-man roster.
The move with Locke isn't a surprise, as he was designated for assignment earlier this week, signaling that his time was up with the Pirates. I wrote about that time on the team earlier this week. Fryer also isn't a surprise, as I've had him projected to be non-tendered since the start of the off-season.
The one surprise was that the Pirates decided to tender a contract to Jared Hughes, who was coming off a down year, and projected to make $2.
