Baseball's Hot Stove season switched into a higher gear at midnight on Thursday night. A whole new batch of free agents flooded the market with the deadline for offering contracts to arbitration-eligible players.It's not a terribly sexy list. Players get non-tendered because their potential arbitration salary exceeds their likely value, so the non-tendered players, by definition, have some warts.
That said, there are usually a handful of non-tendered players who end up having a big impact.
Reliever Matt Capps was non-tendered by the Pirates last year, and he ended up earning an All-Star slot with the Nationals in 2010. Catcher John Buck was non-tendered by the Royals, and he went to the Blue Jays, where he had a career season that earned him an All-Star spot and an $18 million contract this winter from the Marlins.
