2017 Non-Tenders

By Jeff Todd | December 1, 2017 at 7:10pm CDT

The deadline to tender 2018 contracts to players is tonight at 8pm EST. We’ll keep track of the day’s non-tenders in this post (all referenced arbitration projections courtesy of MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz) …

  • The Giants non-tendered righty Albert Suarez, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area tweets. Suarez, 28, was not yet eligible for arbitration.
  • Righty Tom Koehler and infielder Ryan Goins are heading to the open market after being non-tendered by the Blue Jays, per a team announcement.
  • The Rays announced that lefty Xavier Cedeno has been non-tendered, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times tweets.
  • The Cubs non-tendered catcher Taylor Davis, per a team announcement. He was not yet eligible for arbitration.
  • Four Rangers players have not been tendered contracts, per a club announcement. Righties Chi Chi Gonzalez, A.J. Griffin, and Nick Martinez have been cut loose along with infielder Hanser Alberto. Griffin ($3.0MM projection) and Martinez ($2.0MM) were both noted as non-tender candidates by MLBTR. The other two players were not yet eligible for arbitration. Gonzalez was a former first-round pick who had struggled of late and underwent Tommy John surgery in July.
  • The Diamondbacks have also non-tendered lefty T.J. McFarland, who had projected at a $1.0MM salary.
  • The Reds non-tendered lefty Kyle Crockett, a pre-arb lefty who was only recently claimed on waivers, per a club announcement.
  • Per a club announcement, the Brewers have non-tendered veteran righty Jared Hughes. He will end up being the only 40-man player not to receive a contract from Milwaukee. Hughes had projected at a $2.2MM arbitration value. The 32-year-old is a master at inducing grounders and has turned in repeatedly excellent results. He also averaged a career-best 93.9 mph on his sinker in 2017.
  • The Mariners have non-tendered lefty Drew Smyly and righty Shae Simmons, per a club announcement. While the former was expected, due to Smyly’s Tommy John surgery, the latter rates as something of a surprise given his cheap $700K projection. Of course, it’s possible the club is not optimistic of his chances of bouncing back from arm troubles.
  • The White Sox will not tender a contract to reliever Jake Petricka, per SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo (via Twitter). He had projected to take home $1.1MM in his second trip through the arb process. Also non-tendered, per a club announcement, were righties Zach Putnam and Al Alburquerque as well as infielder Alan Hanson.
  • It seems that righty Bruce Rondon will wind up his tenure with the Tigers, as the organization is set to non-tender him, per Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free-Press (via Twitter). Rondon was long viewed as a potential late-inning arm for the Tigers, but had some notable run-ins with the organization, struggled with control, and never consistently produced at the MLB level. Though he projected to earn just $1.2MM, Rondon will be allowed to find a new organization. He will turn 26 later this month.
  • The Diamondbacks will non-tender righty J.J. Hoover, per SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo (via Twitter). Hoover projected at just $1.6MM, but Arizona is watching every penny as it seeks to return to the postseason with a tight payroll situation. The 30-year-old turned in 41 1/3 innings of 3.92 ERA ball in 2017 with 11.8 K/9 but also 5.7 BB/9 on the year.
  • The Royals announced that they have non-tendered outfielder Terrance Gore. Though Gore was not eligible for arbitration, teams occasionally utilize today’s deadline to prune their 40-man rosters. Gore had quite an interesting run with Kansas City, scarcely playing at all during the regular season and then appearing as a speed-and-defense asset in the team’s two storied postseason runs. Now, though the fleet-footed 26-year-old is out of options. With an upper minors OPS that hovers just over .600, Gore just was not going to break camp with the club. It seems reasonable to think there’s a chance he’ll return to the organization on a minors deal, though Gore will also have a shot at exploring the broader market.

    What are the odds that both Bruce and Hector Rondon would be non-tendered on the same day? The fact that I even noticed that is a testimony to the lazy river we’ve come to know as the 2017-‘18 hot stove season. Wake me up when something significant happens

    Smyly’s non tender isn’t a surprise since he won’t likely pitch this year. Simmon’s on the other hand is a head shaker.

      Gohara is a bad trade for Seattle.
      Young. Big. 100mph. Already in the bigs.

      Alex Jackson starting to show Atlanta pulled Jerry Dipoto’s pants down for a second time.

        No one in Seattle liked that trade. Or keep Mallex Smith instead of trading him and getting Dyson. Smith is 10 years younger, cheaper and talented so that is why he couldn’t be a Mariner.

        Now Dipoto dumps Simmons’ another young cheap talented player for nothing so he can keep his biggest mistake (Marco Gonzalez) on the roster since he is out of options.

        Being a Mariner fan sucks when every roster move makes you worse off.

          Agree with the last line…..minus Segura, Gamel, and Hanniger. Hoping we get Ohtani….then we make the playoffs….as long as he can play first base at the same time he pitches….every 3 days.

      Well in reality he was going to be traded the year before for Zack Cozart If the Reds hadn’t bumbled around, you guys would have lost Cozart too. So it really is just a wash.

    What was the point of claiming Crockett then? They did tht last year too w/ Graterol and Guerrero. Waste of a $20k waiver claim fee.

    I’m predicting that BAL will attempt to fill all their rotation needs with the non-tender candidates. Fiers and 2 of the pitchers non-tendered by TEX. Mark my words.

    The Mets didn’t non-tender Hansel Robles. That’s absolutely incredible. I continue to fail to see what they see in him. The command will basically never be there. He throws 96 but so what, the spin rates are so off point and loose. You would think they would learn from Degrom and Lugo what a good tight fastball is and find similar players. There’s no way to reform Robles and I doubt he lasts the season before he’s waived off the roster finally.

    Ah yes, one of the guys people were saying we should have traded Travis Jankowski for a year ago gets non-tendered. The other (Jose Iglesias) will likely be traded for pennies on the dollar sometime this offseason.

    Im shocked @ Simmons, Crockett and Hughes
    Albuquerque shouldn’t have been non-tenderred but I kind of figured he would be
    Xavier Cedeño is a high upside piece, but the Rays kind of had to do that based on the direction they’re headed.
