Deadline was a minute ago. Adolis Garcia and Greg Santos were nontendered. 

Kind of sad about this. He's not the greatest player who ever lived, but he's a Chicago guy and he played well for the Sox. I hope it means they think Braden will be ready sooner rather than later.

Thought I saw it listed as 7pm central somewhere on Twitter?

Old pal Gregory Santos non-tendered, if you want to take a chance on him again.

Brain Bannister has been with three different orgs that have had Gregory Santos, and each of those orgs have traded away Gregory Santos lol 

I thought the purpose of not trading him at the deadline was because they were gonna tender him and keep him around another season

Yeah pretty surprising. Wonder if they changed their mind after he kept breaking down? 

Maybe they re-sign him for cheaper down the line. Tim Elko also non-tendered but kind of expect him to re-sign on an MiLB deal.

I thought it was a family thing, but maybe that was in a prior year.

What a weird series of events now that we are here.  Both with Tauchman, Booser, and Elko.  Why in the world are they non-tendering Elko?  Dude has eight days of service.

It was so they wouldn’t have to relocate him while they had family helping out with his daughter or something.

To get him off the 40-man. He’s going to be injured for a couple of months. I bet he’s back on a MiLB deal shortly.

Could be, but that possibility is why you trade a guy having a near career year at age 34.

So why not DFA?

I have no idea who Derek Hill is. Where did he come from? I didn't see much of the last month of the season. Was he up then?

He's hurt and is going to miss all of 2026. No reason to keep him around and waste a 40-man spot.

Maybe the rumblings about him were true

A guy they picked up with like a week left of the season. Probably insurance in case of a Robert trade.

I’d be interested in JJ Bleday for RF. f*** it.

Unless Tauchman's legs are really messed up and he can't play next year, I don't understand this at all. Best RF play we've had in quite a long time, even despite the time on the IL. And the cost is basically nil in the scheme of things.

I think they’re gonna go dirt cheap there and hand the position off to Montgomery. Unless Robert is traded and he can play CF instead.

Why in the name of all that is holy would they tender Derek Hill?

For when Robert gets hurt again. They have no legit CF option. $900K is nothing.
