"This evening, teams around baseball will need to decide whether to offer contracts to their arbitration- and pre-arbitration level players. Those who are non-tendered will head directly into free agency without being placed on waivers. Earlier this week, MLBTR's Anthony Franco made a comprehensive list of players who could at least theoretically be at risk of a non-tender today, although the majority of them likely will not actually head into free agency."
"The Rangers have already been shopping outfielder Adolis Garcia and catcher for days as they look to shed payroll, and a non-tender could be in the cards for either or both if a trade isn't worked out. Meanwhile, some players who were designated for assignment earlier this week could be traded in the coming hours before their team would otherwise cut them and send them into free agency."
Tonight is the non-tender deadline when teams must decide whether to offer contracts to arbitration- and pre-arbitration-level players. Players who are non-tendered will enter free agency immediately without waivers. Many players are expected to be tendered and proceed through arbitration with salaries near prior projections, while others may sign pre-tender deals at discounts or be traded to teams willing to accept arbitration price tags. Several clubs are actively shopping players to shed payroll, and designated-for-assignment players could still be traded before being cut. International posting windows are opening for eligible players.
