Tender is the Afternoon

[MFS62]

Teams will have until 5PM today to make tender offers to eligible players. They already made one decision (they released Max Kranick).

Here's a write up on the others.

Per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Mets and Tyrone Taylor have agreed to $3.8 million deal for 2026 to avoid arbitration.

I'm glad to have him back. Hopefully he'll play a less prominent role.

It looks like the final non-tender was Jose Castillo.

I hope the role Taylor plays is as backup water boy at Binghamton.

I'd like to see Kranick back. The Quadruple-A experiments often work pretty well "for a while," then they fall apart. Danny Young, for example. Kranick was still in the working out pretty well phase, so I think there's still more juice to be squeezed.

Not sure if I want Castillo back. He was really, really lucky, but he was also solid if you ignore the WHIP and BB/9.
