Non-tenders

[savant]

It is interesting seeing how many more players are being non-tendered in the last few years. This also goes along with the increasing number of free agents who are not being offered arbitration when their contracts expire. Today is the deadline for non fre agents to be offered arbitration, and there are already some interesting names who are free agents as of today.

Chien-Ming Wang from the Yankees, coming off of an injury but was dominant in the AL east when he was healthy.

Kelly Johnson, and Ryan Church from the Braaves. Church would make an ideal 4th outfielder, and Johnson can play the outfield and second base. Has had a couple of decent seasons in the past.

Add Jonny Gomes from Cincy. Big time right handed power.

Neal Cotts says good bye.

How about we sign Wang, Johnson, Church, and Cameron, trade Bradley for a bucket of balls, and call it an offseason?

Individually, none of those guys excites me (except Wang), but collectively, I could live with it.

So you are saying we need a Wang AND a Johnson?

You need two to turn a DP.

Brian Anderson is cut loose by Boston.

If he's healthy and the Cubs sign him, Wang's sinker would really help teams exploit our crappy middle infield defense.

Well played sir!

[rok]

I'd love to give Wang a try.

[savant]

I'm sure you have.

Do you get a free bowl of soup with that hat?

The Pirates non-tendered Matt Capps, according to Sullivan, the Cubs are interested.
