Non-Tender Deadline news

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Feel free to use for Cubs or non-Cubs stuffs.

 

Mooney and Rogers both say that Bard will be a non-tender, Mooney went on to say that they may try to bring him back on a MiLB deal.

Jordany Valdespin was non-tendered, he might make a interesting platoon 2B option. He's a middle infielder by trade but was forced into a super utility role with the Mets, where he was bad defensively in the OF but a touch above average in limited time at 2B. He hit well for a 2B in 2012 and from a superficial glance, he might have been BABIP unlucky in 2013. He may only end up being a half step better than Watkins(if that), but he seems like he could be of interest given the Cubs' needs.

Tommy Hanson non-tendered.

[Tryptamine]

I'm not even interested in him. His shoulder is completely shredded.

[HoopsCubs]

Gamel non-tendered. That opens 2 spots on the 40-man.

[HoopsCubs]

Andrew Bailey non-tendered.

[davell]

Ryan Kalish non tendered, could see us go after him, even if he is LH.

[Post Count Padder]

I'd take a shot on Kalish. Bailey will miss the first few months of the season, right? Won't we be getting Fujikawa back at the same time? Would seem like a redundant signing.

[HoopsCubs]

St. Louis has non-tendered John Axford.

[Cubswin11]

Def would have some interest in Axford. He def needs some work on his command/control of his breaking stuff. But still has elite velo on his FB. Bosio I think was with the Brewers/his coach when he was good.

what in the world

RT @CarrieMuskat: #Cubs agree to terms with Donnie Murphy on 1 yr, $825,000 deal

I wouldn't mind going after Daniel Hudson. I can't see Arizona letting him go, but maybe.

Proving once again that I don't understand MLB roster rules, Lim was non-tendered. I would have thought that would have to be a non-renewal or something?

Pretty sure he had a 2.5 mill option we needed to pick up.

I mentioned this in the bullpen thread, but I have a vague recollection that he had some contract weirdness for his 2nd year, so I'm not surprised that he was arb eligible. I can't find the exact details but there's some hint that he's owed millions this year as part of the MLB portion of his deal because he got called up last year, so no shock that he's non-tendered if that's the case.

[davell]

Not sure we ever actually saw his true deal, but think he had chance at making up to 5.5 mill, with the second year containing most of it.

[Rob]

I do hope they manage to bring Lim back at a more reasonable price.

[davell]

Ryan Webb non tendered by the Marlins? He would have made less than 2 mill in arb, is 28, and put up a 2.91 ERA last year in 80+ innings. Only 6.05k/9, but a 3.60 FIP and a 3.79 xFIP and a 56.3% ground ball rate. (57.3 career) God they're awful.

[Fro]

I imagine Hoyer will be all over it since he traded for Webb when with the Padres.
