MLB’s non-tender deadline was at 4 p.m. CT today, and while the Brewers reportedly tendered contracts to all seven of their arbitration-eligible players, there were a few surprising (and not so surprising)
moves across the league. Let’s take a quick look at every team’s non-tender decisions.
- Arizona Diamondbacks: Non-tendered left-handed pitcher Tommy Henry and right-hander Taylor Rashi, neither of whom was eligible for arbitration.
- Athletics: Non-tendered former first-round pick (No. 4 overall to the Marlins in 2019) JJ Bleday, who had previously been designated for assignment on Tuesday.
- Atlanta Braves: Right-handed pitchers Alek Manoah and Carson Ragsdale were both non-tendered. Manoah, an All-Star with the Blue Jays in 2022, has struggled since that time, resulting in a demotion to the minors before being designated for assignment late this season. The Braves claimed him in late September, but he’ll instead hit the open market this offseason.
- Baltimore Orioles: Non-tendered pitcher Albert Suárez, who worked as a depth starter in 2024 but was limited to just five MLB appearances in 2025 with a flexor strain.
- Boston Red Sox: Non-tendered first baseman Nathaniel Lowe and reliever Josh Winckowski, who were both designated for assignment on Tuesday.
- Chicago Cubs: Non-tendered catcher Reese McGuire, who hit .226/.245/.444 over 140 plate appearances as a backup catcher in 2025.
- Chicago White Sox: Non-tendered three players in reliever Cam Booser, first baseman Tim Elko, and outfielder Mike Tauchman. Tauchman was previously non-tendered by the Cubs last offseason.
- Cincinnati Reds: Catcher Will Banfield and pitchers Carson Spiers and Roddery Munoz were all non-tendered, though none of them were arbitration-eligible.
- Cleveland Guardians: No non-tenders reported
- Colorado Rockies: Non-tendered first baseman Michael Toglia, who was designated for assignment earlier this week.
- Detroit Tigers: Non-tendered utility player Andy Ibáñez, who struggled in 2025 after a solid pair of seasons in 2023 and 2024.
- Houston Astros: Non-tendered infielder Ramón Urías (the older brother of Luis), who was designated for assignment earlier this week.
- Kansas City Royals: Non-tender outfielder MJ Melendez and reliever Taylor Clarke. Melendez was a former top prospect who hasn’t panned out, while Clarke, who was in Milwaukee’s minor league system in 2024, made 51 appearances with a career-best 3.25 ERA in 2025.
- Los Angeles Angels: Non-tender outfielder Gustavo Campero and catcher Sebastian Rivero, both of whom weren’t arbitration-eligible and were instead 40-man roster cuts.
- Los Angeles Dodgers: Non-tendered former closer Evan Phillips, who underwent Tommy John surgery in June and is unlikely to pitch in 2026 (his last season of club control). Fellow pitcher Nick Frasso, who wasn’t arbitration-eligible, was also non-tendered.
- Miami Marlins: No non-tenders reported.
- Milwaukee Brewers: No non-tenders reported.
- Minnesota Twins: Non-tendered outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr., who was designated for assignment earlier in the day to acquire catcher Alex Jackson.
- New York Mets: Non-tendered right-hander Max Kranick, and left-handers Jose Castillo and Danny Young.
- New York Yankees: Non-tendered Michael Arias, Jake Cousins, Scott Effross, Ian Hamilton, and Mark Leiter Jr.
- Philadelphia Phillies: Non-tendered right-handed pitchers Michael Mercado and Daniel Robert, neither of whom was arbitration-eligible.
- Pittsburgh Pirates: Non-tendered outfielders Alexander Canario and Ronny Simon, along with pitchers Colin Holderman and Dauri Moreta, all four of whom were designated for assignment earlier in the week. Only Holderman and Moreta were arbitration-eligible.
- San Diego Padres: Non-tendered pitchers Omar Cruz and Sean Reynolds, neither of whom was arbitration-eligible.
- San Francisco Giants: Non-tendered left-hander Joey Lucchesi, who had a 3.76 ERA over 38 1/3 innings in 2025.
- Seattle Mariners: Non-tendered reliever Gregory Santos, who has only made 16 MLB appearances with a 5.02 ERA over the past two seasons due to injuries.
- St. Louis Cardinals: Non-tendered pitchers Jorge Alcala, John King, and Sem Robberse, along with catcher Yohel Pozo.
- Tampa Bay Rays: Non-tendered outfielders Christopher Morel and Jake Fraley, both of whom were designated for assignment earlier in the week.
- Texas Rangers: Non-tendered Adolis García, Jonah Heim, Josh Sborz, and Jacob Webb as they cleared house. All but Sborz played a key role for the Rangers this season, as García appeared in 135 games, Heim appeared in 124 games, and Webb made 55 appearances. Sborz, who has made 154 career appearances, missed the entire season after undergoing shoulder surgery.
- Toronto Blue Jays: No non-tenders reported.
- Washington Nationals: No non-tenders reported.
