Pirates non-tender right-hander Jeff Karstens
Jeff Karstens - S - Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pirates will not tender Jeff Karstens a contract.

It's not a surprise, as Karstens was due a raise after making $3.1 million in 2012. He'll have no trouble catching on somewhere, though, as the right-hander was a pretty useful piece for the Bucs over the last two seasons, posting a 3.38 ERA over 162 1/3 innings in 2011 and a 3.97 mark over 90 2/3 frames in 2012.
