The Sox refused to give us an early Christmas present on Tuesday night. With every other team in baseball releasing their non-tendered players list by the 11PM Central deadline, the Sox chose to keep theirs a relative secret from the media.
While every other MLB.com site contains an article with a definite non-tendered list, Chisox.com contains just the headline, Three likely to be non-tendered
Full list of all non-tendered players after the jump. You'll find one very interesting name and a bunch of firewood.
