Mike Minor's history of shoulder troubles means he is likely to not be tendered a contract by the deadline tonight.
For the last few months, there has been a fair amount of intrigue regarding Mike Minor and whether or not the Braves were going to tender him a contract for the 2016 season. Immediately after his shoulder surgery, many thought it was a foregone conclusion that he was non-tender candidate.
However, in the waning months of the season, the Braves indicated that they were not only thinking about tendering him a contract, but hopeful that he was going to be in the starting rotation based on the progress he had made during his rehab.
