uart Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Tonight at midnight is the deadline for MLB teams to tender a contract to arbitration-eligible players. If they tender a contract, the player is able to go to arbitration to have their salary determined for the next year. If they are non-tendered their team loses control of the player and they become a free-agent. According to MLBTradeRumors.com the following players have been or are expected to be non-tendered tonight: C. Trent Rosecrans e-mails that the Reds will not tender contracts to Matt Belisle or Gary Majewski. Chris Capuano Kevin Cash Chuck James Chris Burke Updates to come at: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/12/non-tendered-pl.html A list of players who have been tendered already is here: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/12/players-tendere.html Will any NY players be non-tendered?

uart Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Saito could be a good addition for someone. Capuano is coming off of Tommy John, but could be worth a look for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicBizkit87 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Yankees should look at Wigginton, Saito, and Taveras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergen Jet Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I wouldn't touch him but I think Daniel Cabrera has the stuff to be a good pitcher and that some team in need of some serious rotation or bullpen should try to put him into the back end of a rotation and see what he has or put him in the bullpen as a 7th or 8th inning guy. Takashi Saito htting the free agent market is going to make a team in need of a ridiculous setup man or decent closer very happy. He was the most surprising name on the list. Wigginton is a decent little ball player but he has no patience at the plate and will consistantly get exploited by quality starters who attack him early. He strikes out 2.5 times for every walk...

Bugg Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Saito could be a good addition for someone. Capuano is coming off of Tommy John, but could be worth a look for someone.Thinking the same thing. Suspect giving Capuano a Jon Leiber-type backloaded contingency-laden deal would make some sense. Small amrket teams can't do that kind of thing, but the Yankees can afford it, to wait a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Bit Special Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 some info for some of the more interesting names: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/12/interesting-non.html Ty Wigginton, 1B/2B/3B/LF. I don't know what the Astros are going to do at third base now, but they decided they couldn't afford Wigginton. The 31 year-old hit a strong .285/.350/.526 in 429 plate appearances. He probably doesn't mind reaching free agency early in a weak third baseman market. The Indians and Twins still have vacancies. Joe Nelson, RP. Wow...a 2.00 ERA still gets you non-tendered in Florida. He's not that good, but he had a huge strikeout rate and is definitely a useful reliever. Daniel Cabrera, SP. This guy was once considered very nasty to face, at times posting big strikeout and groundball rates. With a fresh start, who knows. Joey Gathright, Willy Taveras, OF. For a couple of burners their recent plus/minus ratings in center field are poor. And you can't steal first base. Jonny Gomes, OF. He's got pop, and destroyed lefties outside of this year. That's about it though. Takashi Saito, RP. Dominant big league numbers, but he's a huge question mark after having platelet-rich plasma injected into his elbow in an experimental procedure. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. Tim Redding, SP. Probably good for a sub-5.00 ERA as a fifth starter. Chris Capuano, SP. The Brewers may re-sign him. Capuano had his second Tommy John surgery in May. He was a useful mid-rotation guy in 2005-06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
