Teams had until midnight ET last night to offer contracts to the players on the major league roster who were unsigned. A player who is not offered a contract, “non-tendered” becomes a free agent. 27 players were non-tendered, 11 from the AL and 16 from the NL. Notable players on the list are Joe Saunders of the Diamondbacks and Andy Sonnanstine of the Rays. MLBTradeRumors.com has a live tracker of all tender/non-tender players here.
