On Friday night, the Washington Nationals made the decision to non-tender Ben Revere, thus making him a free agent. That move didn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but one team made a move that was somewhat of a surprise.
Before the 8 p.m. ET deadline Friday night, the San Diego Padres chose to non-tender right-handed starting pitcher Tyson Ross. Ross, who is the older brother of Washington Nationals pitcher Joe Ross, only started on Opening Day this past season. He missed the rest of the year due to thoracic outlet syndrome and he underwent surgery on his right arm back in October.
