In real life, non-tendering major league players (i.e. those on the 40-man roster) occurs on December 2nd. Over the years that date has gradually gotten closer to the end of the season. In earlier years, the date was Feb. 15th, before being moved to Feb. 1st, then Jan. 15th, and then various dates in December.
For players under their initial minor league contract, the renewal happens from March 1st through March 10th. This timing hasn't changed.
