After Vidal Brujan’s split contract, the Braves have six (seven?) arbitration-eligible players that could be non-tendered by this afternoon’s deadline:
Dubon is pretty much a lock because, well, they traded for him and his modest-but-higher-than-Nick-Allen’s-would-have-been arbitration-eligible salary.
Lee and White seem like near-locks because they aren’t due very much (likely at or under $2 million) and because they’ve been useful for the Braves.
Manoah is kind of a weird case because he was claimed with full knowledge that he’d need to be tendered to be retained, and didn’t end up on the roster for any production-related reason. The Braves could’ve changed their mind (a la declining Tyler Kinley’s option), though.
Wentz seems cheap (around $1 million) for his potential production. Suarez and Payamps, who knows: Suarez’ likely salary isn’t an impediment but you could probably sign him, or someone like him, to a minor league deal; Payamps probably elected free agency upon being outrighted and is likely irrelevant to this exercise, but there’s a bit of conflicting data out there… in any case, you probably don’t need to worry about him getting tendered at this point.
Note that the Braves could always non-tender these guys and try to get them on a minor league deal or a cheap major league contract, so a non-tender isn’t a guarantee of goodbye in and of itself. But, that said, which of these guys do you think does get a goodbye?
