John Brebbia: Non-tendered by Cardinals
Brebbia (elbow) was non-tendered by the Cardinals on Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
He underwent Tommy John surgery in early June, so in a best-case scenario, Brebbia won't be ready to pitch in games until around the halfway point of the 2021 season. He is slated to get back on a mound for the first time in January.

Giants' Wandy Peralta: Comes to terms with Giants
Peralta agreed to a one-year, $925,000 deal with the Giants on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
The 29-year-old lefty logged a career-best 3.29 ERA in 27.1 innings (25 appearances) last season. His 12.3 K-BB% was his best rate since 2017. He should work in the middle innings for the Giants.

Orioles' Shawn Armstrong: Gets one-year deal from O's
Armstrong agreed to a one-year deal with the Orioles on Wednesday, avoiding arbitration.
He logged a 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 14 strikeouts in 15 innings last season -- a major rebound from the 5.74 ERA and 1.64 WHIP he posted in 2019 with the Mariners and Orioles. Armstrong doesn't figure to open the year with a chance at saves, but he could earn some opportunities as the year goes on.

Clay Holmes: Hits open market
Holmes (forearm) was non-tendered by the Pirates on Wednesday, Stephen J. Nesbitt of The Athletic reports.
He ended the year on the shelf with a strained right forearm and never had much success in the majors, logging a 6.84 ERA in 2018 and a 5.58 ERA in 2019. Considering Holmes never returned to the mound, he may end up needing surgery on his elbow.

Paul Sewald: Non-tendered by Mets
Sewald was non-tendered by the Mets on Wednesday.
He never logged an ERA lower than 4.55 across four seasons in the Mets' bullpen, so it's not surprising to see him cut loose. Sewald could end up settling for a minor-league deal this offseason.

Ariel Jurado RP | TEX
Ariel Jurado: Cut loose by Mets
Jurado was non-tendered by the Mets on Wednesday.
He made just one appearance for the Mets last season and has never posted an ERA under 5.50 across three MLB seasons, albeit in very small samples. Jurado may need to settle for a minor-league deal on the open market.

Jimmy Herget RP | COL
Jimmy Herget: Non-tendered by Rangers
Herget was non-tendered by the Rangers on Wednesday.
He had a 3.20 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 17:14 K:BB in 19.2 innings (20 appearances) last season. Still just 27, Herget should be able to latch on elsewhere on a big-league deal, assuming he is healthy.

Trevor Gott RP | WAS
Giants' Trevor Gott: Comes to terms with Giants
Gott (elbow) agreed to a one-year, $700,000 deal with the Giants on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
He finished the year on the shelf with elbow inflammation, so the Giants must have faith in him contributing in some form in 2021. Prior to the injury, Gott gave up 13 runs in 11.2 innings, so he will likely work in low-leverage spots to start the season.

Ryne Stanek RP | STL
Ryne Stanek: Let go by Miami
Stanek was non-tendered by the Marlins on Wednesday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
The right-hander was acquired from the Rays at the 2019 trade deadline, but he never found his footing with the Marlins and posted a 6.03 ERA in 31 appearances. Stanek had a 3.55 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over his three seasons in Tampa Bay.

Hector Neris RP | HOU
Phillies' Hector Neris: Reaches deal for 2021
Neris signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Phillies on Wednesday to avoid arbitration, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
The team declined the right-hander's $7 million option for next season in late October, but he'll remain in the organization after agreeing to the new deal. Neris had 28 saves with a 2.93 ERA during 2019, but he struggled during the shortened season with a 4.57 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB over 21.2 innings.
