If you want info/stats on Smith, search for 'Jacob Smith', not Jake.

Can you update for Sanchez and Petit being non-tendered? Also, Juan Perez is a minor league free agent, per Baseball America's minor league free agent tracker.

 

[calsnowskier]

Updated for Sanchez and Petit.

I also moved Gearin from the Arb-eligible to the actual 40-man. Cots had him as being arb eligible, so I am not sure what is accurate for him.

I am not listing minor league FAs because there are just too many of those. JCP was already DFA'd, so he already did his "exit" from the 40-man.

Thanks cal. I only mentioned Perez because I noticed you had Noonan, Williams and Bochy listed at the bottom.

Gearrin (note the two Rs) has 2.136 of service time, and will thus be arb-eligible. He was optioned in 2011, 12, 13, so has no options left.

So was he non-tendered?

Everything this off season I have heard referenced our "4 arb-eligible players".

Hmmm...

Good point.

I guess I looked at it like "JCP was DFA'd while the others were just out-righted". I think JCP cleared, THEN became a FA. The others went directly from the 40 to FA. Not saying there was a lot of logic with my thought process, but I think that may have been how it happened...

When was JCP DFA'd? Before the end of the season, or after?

After.

So he was DFA'd; cleared; THEN was declared a FA whereas the others went directly from the 40 to FA.

Technical difference, to be sure. But technically there was no difference between JCP and Lollis and conversely, no difference between Williams and Byrd.

I thought that, typically, only arbitration eligible players are tendered or non-tendered. Guys not yet arbitration eligible simply get their contracts renewed around February. I know that is probably not completely right because I've seen guys who are on the 40 man roster who have never played in the big leagues get non-tendered (and those seem the weirdest off season transactions I've seen).

After.

I don't really like ESPN's transaction information. They are usually incomplete. I prefer MLB's - Transactions However, the information below seems to contradict, somewhat, ESPN's.

According to MLB, both Bochy and Perez were outrighted - Bochy on 10/15/15 and Perez on 11/6/15. However, MLB ceases to track transactions past the outright assignment. That's when I turn to Baseball America - Transactions Archives - BaseballAmerica.com. Bochy elected free agency between 10/17 and 10/23. They only show that Perez was declared a free agent sometime after his assignment.

What I don't understand, and what I'm sure the estimable Marco can explain, is how ESPN tracks Perez as being cleared waivers on 11/6 when MLB shows he was outrighted on 11/6. I would assume that there is a difference (this area still puzzles me after 25+ years of following baseball). And yes Marco, I assume you have explained the difference before. Can I suggest that you take the information you've shared with us and create a separate thread that could be stickied?

If a player is DFA'd (litterally DFA'd, not just 'removed from 40-man' - to 'Designate For Assignment' is a specific, particular action and the term is often used incorrectly, even by sports writers) then the team has 10 days to trade, outright, or release the player. (If the player has 7 seasons in the minors, OR he has been outrighted at least once before, then he can elect free agency.) So he cleared waivers on the 6th, and the team immediately outrighted him to the minors. I don't understand the conflict.

Oh, 'clearing waivers' means that no team claimed him so they were free to send him to the minors (outright him).

As to a sticky, here it is : Transactions Glossary | Cot's Baseball Contracts
