Astros To Non-Tender Aaron Sanchez

By Jeff Todd | December 2, 2019 at 4:06pm CDT

The Astros will not tender a contract to right-hander Aaron Sanchez, per MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand (via Twitter). MLBTR had projected him to earn $5.6MM in arbitration.

It’s wholly unsurprising to learn of this decision. While Sanchez again showed off his talent at times in 2019, it was another uneven effort. And he ended up requiring shoulder surgery that will keep him out for the start of the 2020 campaign.

That’s not to say that Sanchez won’t draw plenty of interest in free agency. The live-armed but oft-injured hurler hasn’t been productive over a lengthy run since his excellent 2016 campaign, but he’s still just 27 years of age. Though his rehab outlook isn’t yet known, plenty of teams will surely have designs on pursuing some upside if he’s able to get back to full health.

    As long as he can come back semi healthy he’s got to go into the bullpen and stay there forever. He cannot continue to think of himself as a MLB starter but can go the Morrow route and have some good seasons in the pen

      Probably wouldn’t be a bad idea. Couldn’t be worst than Nova at times last year.

    Pirates should pick him up and try and make him a backend bullpen piece.

    This has Pirates written all over it. Sanchez will be their one “big” free agent signing this year.

    he would be worth a try for any team as a rental to see if he can work in the pen.

    Red Sox 2 years 11 million. Use him in the pen until a starter gets hurt then start him for depth

    Good luck to anyone who signs him. Jays fan here. He will be out with an injured eyelid when and if his shoulder heals.

      He will miss part of 2020 on IL and is a FA at season’s end. They weren’t going to give him $5.6 million.

      I wouldn’t be surprised to see him re-sign with the astros.

      Non-tender doesn’t mean you don’t come back, it just means they wanted a cheaper price.

      It wouldn’t surprise me in the least, absent a blatant overpay,to see him sign a minor league incentive laden deal to return

    The year he won the ERA title, i wonder what types of offers the jays got for him. He was supposed to be the next big thing.
