Non-Tendered Players

NO! NOT Chris Burke. haha, j/k

WOW big list lol

You actually accidentally linked this to the Felipe Lopez signing :|

I know the story was four or five paragraphs long, but here's the last one:
His signing means the D-Backs will not offer a contract to Chris Burke at today’s deadline. Burke will become a free agent.

Oh ok. I thought you had made a mistake thinking that more players had been non-tendered already. Sorry! Poor Chris.

You sure you didn't make a mistake? You said here's a list of players who were nontendered, and you link to Lopez? Maybe it should have said here's a list of the only player who was non-tendered? (if that is the case?)

The deadline is midnight. I imagine, like most lists on this site, Tim will be adding as he gets more information.

the list will be updated. deadline is midnight.

I'd really much prefer Milton Bradley, but I'm assuming the Reds aren't considering him... which is too bad in my book. He's really good.

I predict he'll be one of the few from this free agent class that will turn out to be a good signing.

ok at least some people before me knew the deadline :)

The Astros are looking for a backup shortstop AND a fifth outfielder...It would be truly ironic if they pick up both Burke and Taveras dirt cheap...

bigbaddbobbyjenks- If they don't reach an agreement today, he'll go to arbitration, which is perfectly fine.

No way in h3ll DJ Carrasco gets nontendered.

i wish yankees sign kevin cash to back up posada.

"Surprised Burke would be let go."

Why?

Burke made close to $1 million this year I believe and hit .194. No way the Dbacks should have brought him back.

Chris Cappuano could be a decent sleeper signing for someone.

Man I'd like to see KC go after Capuano...but they may not have the money to play with since they are going after Furcal as well.

Dayton Moore will probably try to pick Chuck James off the scrap heap as another Atlanta guy brought over....

The Blue Jays could use a guy like Capuano. He's only a few years remvoed from a great season ('05: 18-12, 219 IP, 3.99 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, .256 BAA, 176 Ks).

Hmmm... interesting. On a side note, Burnett's best season as a Blue Jay was last year, and his stat line was pretty similar: 18-10, 4.07 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, .249 BAA, 231 Ks...

Look for the Pirates to hit these pitchers up. I mean why not????

Well hey, at least now the Rockies can add Redding without having to go out and trade a young prospect like Morrillo.

And maybe the Mets can sign Redding to make the Mets-Phils rivalry even better, you know, so the Mets can actually win a few games against the Phils.

The Mets had an 11-6 record against the Phils last year, dude.

You know, since the Mets are 'choke artists'.

ya bleedin blue,

it was 07 when we won the last 8 in a row vs the Mets and the season series.

no way Manny would get 5 years. Though Albert Pujols, Manny Ramirez, Ryan Ludwik, Rick Ankiel is pretty scary

And I forgot the ever so mighty Troy Glaus too!!!!!!! (for the Cards line up of course)

Yankees had to let Britton go, the new stadium doesn't have enough room for a spread to feed CC, Joba, and him.

enough with the choke crap!! You know the Phils did end up going 13-3 to end the season and then followed that up with 11-3 in the playoffs.

The Mets went 10-10 down the stretch. That's not choking. That' just clutch play from the Phils.

wonder what Brandon "get to drunk and fight cops, then say don't taze me bro" Backe is doing before he goes unsigned

They didn't give Britton enough chances. He's not bad.

Capuano will be re-signed by the Brewers for a lesser deal - it is not in their plans to dump him completely. He is already in negotiations. He was paid over 3 million to sit last season. No way they would pay 20% less than his previous contract for a guy with two TJ sugeries. Brewers were very loyal to Capuano and let him try to rehab without surgery first which could have and did end his chance to pitch in 08. There is no guarantee he will be any good. He has a GREAT pickoff move but he only has two pitches. He also had an 18 game losing streak I believe. He is a REAL longshot.

Jose Molina is pretty fat too.

LMFAO Yanksfan

Reds should inquire on Taverez, James, Redding, Haeger maybe

The Dodgers have non-tendered Takashi Saito, Angel Berroa, Yhency Brazoban, Scott Proctor and Mario Alvarez. The team would not rule out some of them back, including Saito.

The Mets technically overachieved in July and August, got slightly too far ahead, and sank back to Earth. They just weren't that good. Other than Reyes and Delgado's second half, they had no clutch offense, Santana and Pelfrey were the rotation, and the bullpen was horrible.

yankees should look into proctor again just to add insurance in case someone goes down. saito had amazing numbers im surprised he got non tendered hopefully someone picks him up soon after taking notice to this.

Mets looking for a replacement bench infielder?? How about Angel Berroa? So he hasn't hit well since his rookie year I've always been a fan. He's good with the glove and plays hard... Can't be much worse than Cora

Saito to the Tigers?

Lol sorry hallofamer2000 but i am glad we agree that Proctor would be a great fit for the Yankees if say Bruney or someone else gets injured or is inconsistent. He would add much needed depth.
RIPShea i understand what you are talking about regarding Angel Berroa that he was once Rookie of the Year over Matsui and should be given a shot but this guy is so horrible that you kinda need a steady veteran (Alex Cora) so if Castillo does bad Cora could step in and you know what kind of production your getting from him unlike Berroa who would just be another question mark 2B and the Mets have too many of those.

According to the Baltimore Sun Daniel Cabrera has been non-tendered.

>>Uh why on earth would Wigginton get non tendered?<<

Because our penny pinching owner is trying to save on money by non-tendering the guy that was a very big part of the Astros 2nd half run...

Look for Roy Oswalt to ask for a trade now...Berkman and Lee may end up doing the same.

Makes no sense. 3B who had a .870 OPS last year, and you can't pay him 6M?

*head explodes*

CubbyFan: The NL Central won't have to worry about the Astros in 2009...they are going to be worse than the Pirates and Roy O will be on another team...

If Colletti had waited a week, he could have gotten Wiggy with it...

Doubt the Tigers will spend the little money they say they have on a pitcher with a big time injury

Wiggy is much better (and cheaper) than Blake.

Wigginton has TWINS written all over him...

please

please

pleaseeeeee

If the Twins don't make a strong run at Wigginton I give up. This is like shooting fish in a barrel Smith...

ChiSoxKilla

Gomes is only an option if the Sox trade Dye. Taveras seems logical to sign and Cabrera too. Cooper can work with him and Ozzie isn't gonna take any crap, forcing him to calm down his attitude.

The Giants will kick the ties on Wiggington for sure.

I really hope the Braves go after Ty Wigginton seeing as how he supposedly can play corner outfield which is something they need add to the fact the 23 HRs and the right handedness
