  • Taylor Rashi RP | ARI

    Taylor Rashi: Entering free agency

    The Diamondbacks non-tendered Rashi on Friday.

    Rashi spent most of the 2025 season with Triple-A Reno, where he posted a 3.48 ERA and 1.37 WHIP across 67.1 innings. His contract was selected by the Diamondbacks in late August, and across 10 regular-season games in the majors he posted a 4.41 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, two saves and 22:8 K:BB across 16.1 innings. Rashi will be 30 years old in 2026 and should garner interest from teams looking for right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

  • Tommy Henry SP | ARI

    Tommy Henry: No contract from Arizona

    The Diamondbacks non-tendered Henry (elbow) on Friday.

    Henry is likely to miss the entire 2026 season while recovering from a Tommy John procedure he underwent in June, so it comes as little surprise to see the D-backs decline to offer him a contract for the upcoming year. The 28-year-old southpaw will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal once he approaches the end of his recovery after posting an 8.12 ERA and 1.79 WHIP over 54.1 innings at Triple-A Reno in 2025.

  • Nic Enright RP | CLE

    Nic Enright: Officially let go by Cleveland

    Enright (elbow) was non-tendered by the Guardians on Friday, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Enright was a solid reliever for the Guardians in 2025, posting a 2.03 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 31 innings. However, he's set to miss all of the 2026 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in October.

  • Sam Hentges RP | SF

    Sam Hentges: Parts ways with Cleveland

    Hentges was non-tendered by the Guardians on Friday, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Hentges missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from shoulder surgery, and he's also recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery. He's expected to be ready for the start of 2026 and had proven to be a solid mid-leverage reliever for Cleveland.

  • Jorge Alcala RP | STL

    Jorge Alcala: Officially non-tendered by Cards

    St. Louis non-tendered Alcala on Friday.

    Alcala was DFA'd by the Cardinals on Tuesday, and he'll officially enter free agency after being non-tendered by the organization. He appeared in 56 regular-season games between the Red Sox, Twins and Cardinals during the 2025 season and posted five holds, a 6.22 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 61:30 K:BB across 55 innings.

  • Sean Reynolds: Non-tendered by Friars

    The Padres non-tendered Reynolds on Friday.

    Reynolds performed well in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League at Triple-A El Paso to the tune of a 2.86 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 28.1 innings. However, he finished the regular season with a 5.33 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in the majors and will now have to seek out his next opportunity in free agency. No matter where he lands, the 27-year-old righty doesn't project to serve as more than a middle reliever.

  • Omar Cruz RP | SD

    Omar Cruz: Not extended contract

    The Padres non-tendered Cruz on Friday.

    Cruz gave up two runs over 3.2 innings during his brief stint with the Padres in April, but most of his time was spent at Triple-A El Paso, where he put up a 4.75 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 83.1 innings. He'll now have a chance to join another organization that can offer a clearer path back to the majors, though he likely wouldn't serve as anything more than a middle reliever.

  • Matt Festa RP | CLE

    Guardians' Matt Festa: Avoids arbitration

    Festa agreed to a one-year, $1 million contract with the Guardians on Friday to avoid arbitration, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Festa pitched a career-high 54.2 innings in 2025 while also maintaining a solid 1.08 WHIP with a 56:15 K:BB. He also racked up 12 holds and should line up for a high-leverage role out of the bullpen once again in 2026.

  • John King RP | STL

    John King: Let go by St. Louis

    The Cardinals did not tender King a contract for 2026 on Friday, making him a free agent.

    King posted a 2.85 ERA for St. Louis in 2024 and appeared poised for a high-leverage role last season, but he failed to take advantage and finished 2025 with a 4.66 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB over 48.1 innings.

  • Carson Ragsdale: Cut by Atlanta

    Atlanta non-tendered Ragsdale on Friday.

    Ragsdale started the 2025 season as a member of San Francisco's organization before spending time with Baltimore and Atlanta. Across three teams in Triple-A, he went 7-8 across 19 starts (and 26 games) and posted a 5.22 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 77:48 K:BB across 89.2 innings. Ragsdale will look to join a team in need of right-handed depth on the pitching staff, and while he's spent most of his time in the minors as a starter, he would likely be utilized out of the bullpen in the majors.
