OF Dexter Fowler (Cubs)
RHP Jeremy Hellickson (Phillies)
RHP Kenley Jansen (Dodgers)

All ten players will have seven days to either accept or reject the offer, with next Monday at 5 p.m. being the deadline.

If the player declines, he will hit free agency and the team will receive a compensatory pick if he signs elsewhere.
