Non-Tender Candidates

By Tim Dierkes | October 5, 2009 at 8:14am CDT

December 12th marks baseball's non-tender deadline.  That's when teams decide whether to offer a contract to the unsigned players on their 40-man roster.  Players not tendered a contract become free agents, so we'll add a good 30 players to the list.  It is a chance for certain players to reach free agency without putting in the typical six years of service time.  Past non-tenders include David Ortiz, Jayson Werth, Rick Ankiel, Ryan Franklin, David Eckstein, and Chad Durbin.  Last year Ty Wigginton, Jonny Gomes, Willy Taveras, and Takashi Saito were among those cut loose.  Usually at least a few useful guys are unearthed and a handful sign for more than a million bucks.

Below I've listed non-tender candidates for each team; it's mostly speculative.  Feel free to debate or add names in the comments; I may add to the list based on that.  A few of these players – Jeff Francoeur, John Maine, Mark Teahen, and Delmon Young – are unlikely, but were included anyway.
