The MLP’s slow office saw some activity this week, indicating a non-tender deadline on Wednesday night. ET had until 8pm to decide whether teams could award contracts to their referee-qualified players.
Players with tender contracts must reach an agreement with their team for the upcoming season either by coming to an agreement with the club or by having their contract determined by an arbitrator. Those who do not have contract agreements will join the free agents class this year.
Here is a list of news from Wednesday’s non-tender deadline. It will be updated as more names come out.
