Diamondbacks Decline Elvin Rodriguez's Club Option
As expected, the Snakes pass on retaining a pitcher who'd only been on the roster since September. Visit MLB Trade Rumors for more.
So that's a fair amount of money. Who is getting tendered by tiers
Who is a lock:
Moreno 2.4 million and desperately needs to be extended. This is the #1 off season priority
Ryne Nelson 3.3 million and desperately needs to be extended
Ildemaro Vargas 1.4 million. (0.2 WAR) Switch hitter utility guy. Good price.
John Curtiss 1.2 million (0.4) WAR. Cheap and solid.
Free agent starting pitcher Zac Gallen declined the Arizona Diamondbacks’ qualifying offer on Tuesday, which was the deadline for certain players to decide whether to return to their clubs on a one-year deal or test free agency, MLB insider Jon Heyman first reported on Tuesday.
The Diamondbacks extended the one-year, $22.05 million deal to Gallen at the start of the offseason, ensuring the club would receive draft capital if Gallen turned it down and signed elsewhere. Meanwhile, any other team that signs Gallen would forfeit a pick.

Catcher McCann returning to D-backs on 1-year deal (source)
The Diamondbacks re-signed free agent catcher James McCann on Friday to a one-year, $2.75 million contract, a source told MLB.com. The deal includes the potential to earn another $500,000 in bonuses based on days on the active roster. The club has not yet confirmed the news. When Gabriel Moreno wentshare.google
Way cheaper than I expected. Excellent news
Who is likely gone
Jake McCarthy (-0.6 WAR) he turns 29 next year. Any other team he would be a lock to be gone but with Lourdes out there is a small chance he hangs on.
Kyle Nelson. 1 million (-0.1 WAR). Nearly 4.75 career ERA. It's time
Kevin Ginkel 3 million (-0.8 WAR) too much stink and not enough gink. He's a Torey favorite though so does that keep him on the roster?
Definitely gone
AJ Puk - TJ out for at least half the year.
Yeah, I don’t understand why they didn’t tender HenryI can't believe they tendered everyone of these guys but Nelson, who was the cheapest
Ginkel, Puk, and McCarthy will make about 9 million combined. That's halfway to a top closer.
