I can’t remember a time when I paid close attention to the non-tender deadline. Until today. There were reports that the Cardinals were attempting to trade Dakota Hudson aggressively and that it may have indicated he would be nontendered. Suddenly, my interest was piqued.
We have non-tendered the following players:
RHP Dakota Hudson
RHP Jake Woodford
C Andrew Knizner
1B/OF Juan Yepez
Our 40-player roster now stands at 36.— St. Louis Cardinals (@Cardinals) November 18, 2023And the reports were true. Hudson was nontendered. I didn’t truly think the Cardinals would do it, because, well they held onto Hudson this long.
