National League Non-Tenders: 11/18/22

By Anthony Franco | November 18, 2022 at 10:00pm CDT

The deadline to tender contract to arbitration-eligible players is tonight at 7:00pm Central. Here’s a rundown of the players on National League teams that have been non-tendered today. This post will be updated as more decisions are revealed. All players non-tendered go directly to free agency

MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz projected salaries for all arb-eligible players last month.

Later Updates

  • The Reds have non-tendered righty Daniel Duarte and minor league outfielder Allan Cerda, taking both off the 40-man roster. Neither had been eligible for arbitration, but Cincinnati will send both into free agency without having to place either on waivers. Duarte made three relief appearances this year, his first as a big leaguer. Cerda, 23 next month, has yet to reach the majors. He hit .198/.350/.401 in 257 plate appearances in Double-A. Cincinnati also announced that six players designated for assignment earlier this week — Aristides Aquino, Jared Solomon, Kyle Dowdy, Derek Law, Art Warren and Jeff Hoffman — were all let go. Both Duarte and Cerda have already agreed to re-sign with Cincinnati on minor league deals, reports Mark Sheldon of MLB.com (Twitter link).

Earlier Moves

  • The Braves freed a pair of 40-man roster spots by non-tendering minor league pitchers Brooks Wilson and Alan Rangel. Rangel spent most of this past season in Double-A, while Wilson didn’t pitch in 2022. Atlanta also announced that three players non-tendered earlier this week — Guillermo Heredia, Jackson Stephens and Silvino Bracho — have been let go.
  • The Giants have non-tendered relievers Mauricio Llovera and Alex Young and infielder Donovan Walton, clearing three spots on the 40-man roster. Walton was acquired from the Mariners midseason and hit .158/.179/.303 in 24 games with San Francisco. Young made 24 appearances after his contract was purchased from the Guardians. Llovera pitched 17 times after signing a minor league deal last offseason. Additionally San Francisco non-tendered seven players who’d been designated for assignment earlier this week: Drew Strotman, Meibrys Viloria, Colton Welker, Jarlin Garcia, Dom Nunez, Sam Delaplane and Jason Vosler.
  • The Pirates non-tendered lefty Manny Banuelos and catcher Tyler Heineman. Both had been designated for assignment earlier this week.
  • The Diamondbacks non-tendered righty Reyes Moronta, the team announced. The reliever posted a 4.50 ERA in 17 outings with the Snakes after being claimed off waivers from the Dodgers.
  • The Padres announced they’ve cut loose catcher Jorge Alfaro and righty Efrain Contreras. Alfaro had been projected at a $3.6MM salary this season, a hefty amount after a .246/.285/.383 season. Contreras hasn’t pitched in the majors; he had a tough year in High-A and loses his 40-man spot spot as a result.
  • The Cubs have non-tendered center fielder Rafael Ortega, as well as minor league pitchers Brailyn Marquez and Alexander Vizcaino. Ortega has seen a decent amount of action the last two years and had a respectable .241/.331/.358 line through 371 plate appearances this past season. Nevertheless, the Cubs opted against a salary in the $1.7MM range for next year. Marquez has been a top pitching prospect but has battled injury issues for the past few years. Vizcaino was part of the Anthony Rizzo trade with the Yankees but didn’t pitch in the minors this year.
  • The Nationals non-tendered righty Tommy Romero. He’d been designated for assignment earlier this week. Washington confirmed the previously-reported decisions to part with Luke Voit and Erick Fedde.
  • The Brewers cut loose right-handers Trevor Gott, Jandel Gustave and Luis Perdomo. All three were part of Milwaukee’s middle innings mix, with Gustave’s 45 appearances the most among that group. Gott had a 4.15 ERA over 45 2/3 innings after signing a free agent deal last offseason.
  • The Rockies non-tendered infielder/outfielder Garrett Hampson, the club announced. The 28-year-old had been projected for a $2.1MM salary. A speedster with the ability to play anywhere up the middle, Hampson just hasn’t hit at the big league level. He’s coming off a .211/.287/.307 showing through 226 plate appearances.
  • The Mets announced they’ve non-tendered Sean Reid-Foley and confirmed they’re letting go of Dominic Smith, who’s non-tender was previously reported. This year, Reid-Foley made seven MLB appearances, tossing 10 innings of relief.
  • The Dodgers have non-tendered infielder Edwin Rios and utilityman Luke Williams, per a club announcement. Los Angeles also confirmed the previously reported non-tender of former MVP Cody Bellinger. Rios has shown some offensive promise in the past and owns a .212/.299/.492 line through 112 big league games. He missed a good chunk of this past season with a hamstring strain. Williams was claimed off waivers from the Marlins recently; the Dodgers could look to bring him back on a minor league deal.

        Even if the Dodgers do not bring Justin Turner back at a lesser salary, Max Muncy will be the primary 3B.

        Smith at C, Freeman at 1B, Lux and Taylor at MI, Muncy at 3B, Betts in RF, Vargas in LF.

        Rotation including Julio Urias, Clayton Kershaw, Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May.

        Need to replace Bellinger and Buehler/Anderson/Heaney.

    Mets should sign Yarbrough, Weaver, Bellinger and Luke Voit. Can be 2 bullpen pieces and backup starters when needed, Bellinger can be used in CF when they lose Nimmo and Voit can be the DH.

      Weaver is absolutely awful. You don’t want him. Yarbrough hasn’t been good in a while but at least is left handed and comes from a good organization.. Voit is a league average hitter who can only play 1B and there are dozens of guys like that who are better. Bellinger is a huge roll of the dice, probably suitable for a rebuilding team hoping to flip him at the deadline.

      If I’m the Mets I stay away from all of those guys. Much better stuff is out there.

      I dont know about Weaver, but I agree with most of what you said. I think the Mets can fix Bellinger around. I dont think he will ever hit .300 with 45 homeruns again but, I do think he could be a .250 BA, .340 OBP, and a 15-20 homerun guy while playing exceptional defense in center. I’d take that over the 100 million Nimmo will probably get

        Would like Philly to sign Bellinger and see what hitting guru Kevin long can do with him. Since we will most likely be without Harper until June 1st, Bellinger is a good fit.

        Still, hard to believe two recent NL MVPs, Bellinger and Yelich, have fallen off a cliff since their MVP seasons.

      Dom Smith looks like he just doesnt want to be a NY Met. He has no emotion when hes up at bat and blames the umpires everytime he strikesout. I do think that with the shift gone he will hit better. I also think hes the type of player that needs consistent playing time to do well. The Mets were using him like twice a week starting and maybe once or twice pinch hitting. He needs a rythm to do well

    Marquez, Cubs LHP, was a surprise to me. Just 2 yeas ago he was being touted as a future top of the rotation arm, with an 80 grade fastball.. He came up to the Cubs and started one game, looked terrible, was injured and the next thing you know I’m reading this. Unless his arm/shoulder is a mess, I’d certainly take a shot.

      Please, no, at least on Bellinger. I’d like to see them aim higher, like Nimmo, or even Haniger or Benentendi, (with one of them in LF, and Slater in center). In fact, I’d rather have Tyler Naquin in CF over Bellinger.

      Moronta will probably only get a Mil deal that’s low risk for whomever signs him, so that I wouldn’t mind.

      Do Giants fans have any strong opinions on Mauricio Llovera? I was looking at his numbers and I think he’d be intriguing enough for the DBacks to take a flyer on. All of his peripheral stats looked great after the switch to pitching mostly Sliders and introducing a Sinker as his FB choice. He’s relatively young, too.

    So much for that theory that the Giants were retaining Donovan Walton, because letting him go would be an admission of making a bad trade. Since neither he, nor Berroa, has been good, that’s wrong on both counts.

      tad, I think Walton was worth a try so I kinda disagree with your admission comment. I seldom disagree with your takes. However, they just opened up 3 spots on the 40 man moving Walton, Young and Llovera. The big question now is why 3 needed. Hmmm…

        Claude, I wasn’t saying Walton wasn’t worth a try, I was referring to a post from an earlier article where someone said, Vosler was let go, instead of Walton, because that would be an admission by FZ of making a bad trade.

        I disagreed with that. I was pointing out, that with also Walton not being retained, the suggestion that it was an ego thing, that kept him on the roster, is shown to be wrong..

    I’m wondering why the Braves let Brooks Wilson go, he seemed to have high potential, he struck out 84 in 50 innings in 2021.
    It will be sad not to see Heredia round anymore, he really didn’t get many opportunities at all. I hope someone gives him a chance to play a bit more, if not, maybe the KBO. is a good opportunity, he’s still only 31.
