Instead of offering players arbitration, teams have the option to "non-tender" their arbitration eligible players, which would make them free agents. More free agents, yay! Given the rough economic climate we are in, it is no surprise to see teams refuse to offer contracts...

The shock of this trade is still not wearing off and I was hoping that it wasn't going to be true. But it looks like it's going to get done. Thankfully.. The Indians aren't getting Aaron Heilman, Endy Chavez or first baseman Mike Carp. The deal breaks down as this. Mets...
