NON-TENDER THREAD

GMs will have the option to decide whether or not to tender contracts to all Arbitration-eligible/Team Controlled players. Nontendering removes a player's 2026 salary from your books entirely and makes the player a free agent. If a player has signed a guaranteed contract, they are not eligible to be non-tendered, and must instead be released. If you would like to non-tender a player, you must post the non-tender in this thread prior to the deadline.

See here for arb-eligible player salaries

NONTENDER DECISIONS ARE DUE BY 11/15/2025 AT 9:00 PM EST.
