Some idle speculation that they might let Nick Sandlin, Sam Hentges or Ben Lively find greener pastures elsewhere, but I’d bet all three end up getting tendered a deal today. It is possible that we will see a trade or two around baseball, however. One would imagine free agency will kick off in earnest after today… but who knows?
