An additional 39 players joined the ranks of free agency on Friday, as clubs met the deadline to tender or non-tender players a contract. The number of players non-tendered is up from the 26 that were let go last December, either an indication of how teams are better valuing talent or being more frugal, depending on your point of view. While non-tenders are players that teams deemed expendable, they are generally younger and cheaper than six-year free agents, which can make them atractive for rebuilding clubs like the Royals.
You can read a full list of players who were non-tendered here, but I wanted to highlight a few players that could help the Royals in 2019.
