Today by 8 p.m. ET is when arbitration-eligible players whose teams do not want to pay/keep them next season learn their immediate career fate. A number of name-brand guys are going to become instant free agents.
The first to go is Billy Hamilton of the Reds. A .299 OBP over the last two seasons can do that to a guy who has such speed, he could be a great leadoff man. If only he could get on base…
As mentioned on the Cubs thread, Chicago is keeping Addison Russell despite his off-field problems.
Feel free to post others here as you see the announcements.
Danny Salazar of Cleveland is one that they are speculating might be non-tendered due to injuries and payroll.
It means they didn’t offer a one year contract to the arbitration-eligible player and that player becomes a free agent
looks like Billy Hamilton will be non tendered too… baffling they couldnt find someone to give them ANYTHING for a guy who is a gamechanger even as a pinch runner and defense first backup OFer
He is as safe a bet for a free run in an extra inning game if you can get anyone on and then bring him in and let him run, 0 or 1 out he can get to 3rd on almost every catcher and pitcher if you get him in
and even though he doesnt hit well, it’s not like he is the worst hitter in baseball
I wonder if Cleveland scoops him up from FA as their OF is a mess
jager, please check posts above.
The White Sox non-tendered IF Matt Davidson and OF Avisail Garcia. Both have had ups and downs.
A surprise.
We’ve non-tendered Wilmer Flores. #Mets

CC, my recollection is non-tenders were usually due around December 2 and Rule 5 is always the final day of Winter Meetings, which is held in the second week of December.
Supposedly the Brewers are going to non-tender Jonathan Schoop. I haven’t seen anything official yet.
If I have Hamiltons blistering speed, I’m bunting once a game, at least.
Billy has 158 PA’s that ended with a bunt attempt. Not even 6% of his total PA’s.
5% is what, 1 in 20 Pa’s? Once every 4 games? Not enough for someone who needs to lift his bat value.
I’ve read for years that Hamilton is going to bunt more. Here is an article with the data.

The #STLCards have reached an agreement with left-handed reliever Chasen Shreve, who was arbitration eligible, on a one-year contract for 2019. The club has also tendered contracts to all remaining players on its 40-man roster for the 2019 season. pic.twitter.com/b4zMPNgayE

Many of us thought Chasen Shreve would be non-tendered by the #stlcards. Instead, he has come to terms on a one-year deal. My guess as to what happened and its potential impact on the 2019 roster. (free) https://t.co/g38xWWzbjs pic.twitter.com/5QHg9Te1kW

Another once very good pitcher whose velocity is reportedly down.

If Kelly is traded, McCann would be a decent reserve.
The #Tigers announced today that the club will not tender a contract for the 2019 season to catcher James McCann and right-handed pitcher Alex Wilson. https://t.co/0h4LL1WKXe
