If the team decided to use up a 40 man spot on these guys when they said they had more guys they would have liked to protect, why would they non-tender these guys a few days after the Rule 5 draft? Should have just cut them loose earlier if they weren't going to keep them so that they could free those roster spots. I don't see the Reds non-tendering these guys now (though they may do one before the draft so that they could pick a guy), but I guess I shouldn't put anything past the GM who signed Willy T.
