      I’m surprised no one has brought up Charlie Culbertson yet. I would jump all over him. He only deserves a cheap deal but he seems like one of the few on here worthy o an actual major league contract. I would give guys like Treinen, Gausman and Peraza minor league contractss at the very least as well. Why didn’t Villar make this list? I guess he was waived rather than non-tendered? What’s the difference and why would the O’s make a point to do that?

        He was placed on outright waivers and subsequently traded. So he was neither. The marlins tendered him a contract

        Reds will probably try to re sign Gausman. They liked him a lot as a reliever but he was set to make over $10M in arbitration, which is obviously far too much to pay for a reliever.

          The problem is he’s a below average hitter who’s value was tied up in his elite defense. He’s a major regression candidate when the balls revert back to non pin balls. If the Mets are serious about contending it’s not Pillar. You can average defense in house.

      Weren’t the A’s in talks with the Yankees just the other day about a Blake Treinen trade? I assume that by trade it meant the Yanks offered at least a crappy player they obviously weren’t going to non tender, a player to be named later or cash. Why didn’t the A’s just take whatever they could get as opposed to letting him go for nothing. It seems hard to believe the Yankees were offered an arb eligible player they wanted to keep but the A’s didn’t think was worth a roster spot. I mean at least get a low level minors player at the MiLB minimum with 6+ years of control left, right?

        Good points. But a team has to stick to its minimum line sometimes. Otherwise, teams might try to exploit them in the future.

          I completely disagree. Because NOW after they actually non-tendered Trienen, teams are gonna say to Oakland “I’m just going to wait instead for x to be non-tendered”.

          They had to be willing to pay his full salary considering they knew the A’s could walk away from him without paying anything. No team in baseball is dumb enough to pay someone to play for another team when they don’t have to pay him at all. The Yanks had to know that the A’s weren’t going to give up any prospects to cover cost for a guy they didn’t have to pay regardless.

        I never really understood that thinking especially for a team like the A’s. Villar was somewhat in the same boat. The A’s have such a backlog of young arms you’re not really look for iffy AAAA RPs. Trading for anyone generally means you’ll take an org filler or their are significant red flags about an old low level guy. That doesn’t really help your farm or player development you can get those guys in abundance through the draft and milb signings. In fact if you have a good development system it provides more clutter, especially if the MLB gets its way in eliminating MiLB teams. Nobody really knows what was offered. They got a piece in Allen that can potentially help and may be a AAAA guy, but there’s a path, and it’s a decent project. What do you really accomplish by trading for just anyone? If they don’t believe in Trienen’s control/health seems cutting bait isn’t a terrible assessment as opposed to trading for just anyone. If you put in context Treinen has had one spectacular season, but at this point it’s been aberration and he’s due decent money. What do you think teams really offered for a guy about to be NTd but possess a live expensive arm with plus stuff, but control and execution have generally been a problem.

          Giving away a player for a bucket of baseballs sets a bad precedent. Who’s to say the A’s don’t re-sign him as a FA. The A’s non-tendered Mike Fiers in 2018 and then signed him as a FA.

          MLB is only reducing the minor league teams by 25%. If the minor league player they get in return isn’t good enough to keep a roster spot thwybcould just release him and they would be in the exact same situation they are now. Even if it was literally a bucket of baseballs and the baseballs actually ended up being flawed and no good, the A’s could just throw them away and be in the exact same situation they are now. The Yankees had to be at least willing to give up a player they themselves weren’t going to non-tender because the trade didn’t happen and the Yanks still tendered everyone they possibly could. The Yanks also had to be willing to pay his full arbitration salary because they knew the A’s didn’t have to and therefore weren’t going to pay for any of it. I guess the idea that the A’s want to re-sign him at a lower cost is the best argument I’ve heard but what are the chances of that now that 29 other teams are able to bid on him and the Yanks have already shown they were willing to pay him more than the A’s? Unless the A’s sign him for less than his arbitration prediction strictly because he wants to stay with Oakland for less money because of geographical reasons, not trading him makes no sense… Unless the trade talks were exagerrated to the point that someone just overheard Yanks brass saying they would take Blake Treinen in exchange for a terrible contract and exaggerated to the point that it was actually considered trade talks. I mean… I guess I could see the Yanks offering Stanton for Trienen but that would be more like the Yanks just trying to give Stanton’s contract away and likely would just be something said in passing. Either Trienen specifically wants to play for the A’s for less than what the Yankees are willing to pay him, or the “trade talks” were completely over exaggerated by whoever reported them, or the A’s just decided to turn down a deal that would have brought them cents on the dollar in exchange for getting nothing. I doubt the A’s are that stupid but the narrative seems that way now. In kind of doubt Trienen is specifically willing to take less money to play with Oakland as well. My guess is the whole “trade talks” statement was overblown by whoever reported it first on Twitter or ESPN or wherever just so they could make clickbate. Meaning, I think the person who ORIGINALLY (not MLBTR) reported the trade talks knew that it made no sense and was never going to happen.

    Would be very interesting to see a team full of non tendered players. I’m sure they wouldn’t be as bad as the Orioles, Royals, Marlins, or Tigers. I think when the MLB expands again, this would be a cool concept. Just a random thought.

    Any team that has even remote designs to contend could use Treinen in hopes for a bounce back. And I’m sure there are teams that are willing to let him close to start the season, too. My prediction – the ChiSox but really, who knows.
