"The deadline to tender a contract to arbitration-eligible players is tonight at 4pm CT this afternoon. Below is a comprehensive list of players on American League teams who have been non-tendered today, which will be updated as more decisions are revealed throughout the day. MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz projected 2026 salaries for all arbitration-eligible players last month. Non-tendered players will immediately enter free agency without needing to pass through waivers and can then be signed by any of the league's 30 teams."
"The Mariners non-tendered reliever Gregory Santos, reports Francys Romero. He'd only been projected at $800K, narrowly above the MLB minimum, so the move was about dropping him from the 40-man roster. Seattle acquired the 26-year-old righty from the White Sox over the 2023-24 offseason. He has only made 16 MLB appearances with a 5.02 earned run average over the past two years because of lat and knee injuries."
"The Tigers are non-tendering utility player Andy Ibáñez, according to Romero. He'd been projected at $1.8MM. The righty-hitting Ibáñez had been a solid short-side platoon bat for Detroit between 2023-24. His production against southpaws dropped this year (.258/.311/.403), limiting his value. The Tigers optioned the 32-year-old to Triple-A in early June and kept him in the minors until shortly before the trade deadline. Ibáñez is a career .254/.305/.389 hitter in parts of five seasons."
