Friday afternoon's non-tender deadline, when teams have to decide whether or not to tender contracts to eligible players for the following season, was a quiet one for the Milwaukee Brewers. After agreeing to a one-year, $2.7 million deal with Jake Bauers and electing to eventually tender contracts to the other six players who are arbitration-eligible this offseason, the Brewers didn't "non-tender" a single player.
However, around the league, several notable players were told that they wouldn't be tendered contracts for the 2026 season by their respective teams. Names like Christopher Morel, Nathaniel Lowe, and Andrew Knizner were all released from their 2025 organizations despite being under team control for at least the 2026 season.
