The Giants are really busy tonight with all of the arbitration-eligible free agents they have to make decisions on. They have already made a decisions on a few of those free agents.
The Giants decided to tender contracts to Santiago Casilla, Javier Lopez, Ramon Ramirez, Cody Ross, Jonathan Sanchez, and Andres Torres. That leaves both Chris Ray and Eugenio Velez without tendered contracts.
In a related move, Mike Fontenot has agreed to a one-year deal with the Giants, avoiding arbitration. Last year Fontenot earned $1 million through arbitration so I would expect his salary to be a bit higher than that.
The Velez non-tender is interesting since he wasn't up for arbitration. This would likely mean that the Giants will let him walk and that would open up a spot on the 40-man roster.
Former Giant, Fred Lewis was non-tendered by the Blue Jays so that makes him a free agent.
