Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
With Saturday night's midnight deadline to tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players, it was widely anticipated that at least a few productive players would be non-tendered and added to the free agency pool. Jack Cust, Chien-Ming Wang, Johnny Gomes, and Kelly Johnson were all players who looked to be the odd men out with their teams and all four of them were among the non-tenders last night. That doesn't mean there weren't surprises, though. The Pirates non-tendered Matt Capps, their closer, despite prior assurances from general manager Neal Huntington that he would offer a contract to all three of his arbitration-eligible players (Ronny Cedeno signed and Zach Duke did receive an offer from the team). Capps was coming off of a bad year, and it was expected the team would shop him this winter, but the non-tender left even beat writers stunned.
Along with Capps, Cust, Wang, Gomes, and Johnson, Ryan Garko, Ryan Church, and John Buck all found themselves without contracts last night. All of these players will attract interest from other teams now that they're on the free agent market.
Of course, not everyone that was non-tendered is a potential diamond in the rough. MLB Trade Rumors followed the news yesterday and has an unofficial list of every newly minted free agent from Jose Arredondo to Mark Worrell and everyone in between.
