Tim Dierkes of MLBTR released the list of players he believes may be non-tendered when the deadline passes this Wednesday, 11PM CT. If he is correct, those players become free agents. Of course if a team knows they will non-tender a player, they can attempt to work out a trade with another team.
Rays Catcher Rene Rivera is the only Rays player included on the Dierkes non-tendered list. He is projected to get a jump to $1.6 million after providing the Rays with a less than encouraging -2.0 WAR.
Curt Casali and Luke Maile would be in line to hold the fort if the Rays do let Rivera go, although Rivera could also be brought back at a lower cost.
