Steve Cishek: Non-tendered by Cardinals

The Cardinals declined to tender Cishek a contract for 2016.

The 29-year-old turned his season around after coming over to St. Louis in a July trade, but it was not enough to warrant a $7-plus million price tag for 2016. Cishek, who saved 73 games for the Marlins from 2013-14, will almost certainly sign a major-league deal elsewhere at a reduced cost. His role will depend on where he signs.
