Tonight at midnight is the deadline by which club's must offer players a contract. If they don't -- a process call "non-tendering" -- the players become free agents.

The Nationals are not going to tender contracts to everyone. Here's their list of arbitration-eligible players:

RHP Luis Ayala
RHP Chad Cordero
INF Felipe Lopez
RHP Jon Rauch
RHP Tim Redding
RHP Ryan Wagner

Other potential non-tender candidates would be Nook Logan and Micah Bowie.

The Nationals will have an announcement within an hour. There could be some arbitration-avoiding moves, though not with Cordero, as well.
