Non-tender deadline is today

Related Topics: Jonathan Hernandez

Today is the deadline for teams to tender contracts to players who are currently not under contract for the 2023 season. This evening, a number of additional players will become free agents as a result of their teams opting not to tender them a contract for 2023.

Most players who are non-tendered are players who are arbitration-eligible, and whose teams believe the salary that the player would get in arbitration is larger than what the player is worth or would get on the open market. Along with players being non-tendered, there will likely be a few trades today, with teams dealing away arbitration-eligible players to teams more willing to pay what the player will likely earn in 2023.
