Redmond was not a free agent. This probably is just the Reds tendering him a contract for 2013, because he might have been a non-tender candidate otherwise.

Matt,
Was Todd Redmond outrighted sometime in late October? I can't find any record of that anywhere, but the Reds re-signed him today.

Matt, thanks for your quick reply. Neshek is arbitration eligible but Janssen and McGowan have guaranteed contracts thru 2013 (McGowan thru 2014) according to MLB Rumors website. It may be a simple. mistake. Hopefully,their roster status will be cleared up by the Non-Tender deadline on 30 Nov.

I noticed that your Minor League Transactions blog was posted on Thanksgiving Day. That's dedication!!!

@Mike

Janssen, McGowan and Neshek do not appear in any MLBPA press releases about free agents. Does the MLB free agent tracker know something about those clubs’ non-tender decisions? Did those players have options picked up for 2013? Is it a simple mistake?

Matt, Pat Neshek of the A;s along with Casey Janssen and Dustin McGowan of the Blue Jays are listed on their team's 40 man roster as well as listed as free agaents on MLB's Free Agent Tracker. How can they be listed on the 40 man roster and as free agents?

Kevin Mc Kague of West Point (Army) was a 23rd round pick of the Braves in 2012, not a 12th rounder selection.
I believe he had been previously drafted by the Barves but did not sign.
