Alzolay (elbow) was non-tendered by the Cubs on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Alzolay began the 2024 season as the Cubs' closer, but he struggled and was removed from the role. His season went downhill from there, as he was sidelined by a forearm injury before ultimately undergoing Tommy John surgery in early August. Alzolay will miss all of the 2025 campaign as a result.

The Diamondbacks non-tendered Hughes on Friday.

Although Hughes put up a 2.03 ERA in 48.2 Triple-A innings, he struggled during his time with the big-league squad, logging an 8.15 ERA and 1.92 WHIP over 17.2 frames. The 28-year-old reliever will now look to turn things around with a new organization, though he may start off the season in the minors once again.

Morgan agreed to a contract with the Cubs to avoid arbitration Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The Cubs acquired Morgan from the Guardians on Wednesday, and he should serve as a key member of their bullpen in 2025. He's suffered from some inconsistency during four big-league seasons, though he posted a 1.93 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 42 innings in 2024.

Thompson agreed to a contract with the Cubs on Friday to avoid arbitration, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Thompson has bounced between Triple-A Iowa and the big leagues for the last two seasons, but he was effective out of the bullpen across 30.1 innings for the Cubs in 2024 by maintaining a 2.67 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. His control (14.2 BB%) will likely keep him from a high-leverage role, but he should contribute as a reliever in 2025.

The Rays non-tendered Lovelady on Friday.

Lovelady was designated for assignment by the Rays on Tuesday, and he'll now officially enter free agency and look to sign with a team in need of a southpaw out of the bullpen. Across 35 major-league appearances between the Cubs and Rays in 2024, Lovelady posted a 4.46 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 34.1 innings.

The Mariners non-tendered Chargois on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Chargois was traded by the Marlins to the Mariners in late July. Despite posting a 2.23 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 36.1 innings between the two teams in 2024, Chargois was designated for assignment by Seattle on Tuesday to make room on the 40-man roster for Austin Shenton. Now a free agent, Chargois should be able to catch on with a team in need of right-handed bullpen depth.

Seattle non-tendered Voth on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Voth signed with the Mariners in January on a one-year deal and posted a 3.69 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over 61 innings in 2024, which were his best numbers since 2019. The 32-year-old will enter free agency and should garner plenty of interest from teams looking to bolster their bullpen depth.

Alexander was non-tendered by the Rays on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Alexander served as both a traditional starter and multi-inning reliever for the Rays in 2024, posting a 5.10 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 107.2 frames. He should be able to find a bullpen role elsewhere around the league, with the potential to also be a spot starter.

The Guardians traded Strzelecki to the Pirates on Friday in exchange for cash.

The right-hander was designated for assignment Tuesday in order to make room for Franco Aleman on the Guardians' 40-man roster, but Strzelecki will now claim a spot on Pittsburgh's 40-man instead. The 30-year-old put up a 5.01 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 46.2 innings in the minors last season, and he will compete for a spot in the Pirates' bullpen during spring training.

Poche was non-tendered by the Rays on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Poche has been a key high-leverage reliever for the Rays the last several seasons, picking up a combined 65 holds since 2022. He's also posted a WHIP no worse than 1.16 in that span, meaning he should be in relatively high demand on the open market.
