As some of you readers sit and wait through a prolific snowstorm in New England, here are some notable names that were non-tendered as the off-season hot stove heats up.

Following Players Were Non-Tendered, Confirmed By Jeff Passan of ESPN:

Of note on this list, Blake Treinen was one of baseball’s best relievers in 2018, where he made an All-Star appearance and was the closer on a 97-win A’s team. Cesar Hernandez posted a 1.7 fWAR for the Phillies last season as their second baseman, but he was projected a raise to $11.4M, prompting Philly to cut ties.

Addison Russell was once a budding star and a key cog in the future of the Chicago Cubs, but Domestic Violence issues and a subsequent suspension from Major League Baseball lead to his stock flaming out. Almost every player on this list was due for a raise this winter in arbitration.

Other players non-tendered include former Met Kevin Plawecki, infielder Travis Shaw, left-handed pitcher Ryan Buchter, utility man Charlie Culberson, and right-handed pitcher Jimmy Nelson.

Phillies Staying In Touch With Infield Bats

Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports that the Phillies are staying in contact with representatives of third baseman Josh Donaldson and infielder Didi Gregorius. The Phillies cut ties with infielders Maikel Franco and Cesar Hernandez earlier yesterday, putting themselves deeper into the market for infielders.

Donaldson returned to his previous form last season in Atlanta following a few injury riddled seasons to close his tenure in Toronto, which saw him win an MVP award. He hit to the tune of an OPS of .900 with 37 long balls, and finished 11th in MVP voting.

Gregorius, however, only appeared in 82 games, in which he slashed .238/.276/.441 with 16 bombs. Didi was acquired by the Yankees in December of 2014 as the heir to Derek Jeter‘s throne, but it never quite worked out long-term for the Dutch shortstop.

Marlins Acquire Veteran Infielders

Announced by the team, the Marlins acquired veteran infielders Jesus Aguilar and Jonathan Villar in two different moves today. Villar was acquired in a trade with the Orioles for LHP Easton Lucas. Aguilar was claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay.

Villar was an All-Star for the Orioles last season, but an obvious effort to cut payroll, the Orioles made him available for a low price. Aguilar played an important role on the 2018 Brewers that just missed out on the World Series, but after a sluggish start to his 2019 campaign, was shipped off to Tampa Bay where he came off the bench.
