Non Tender Renewal Procedures

I've been through this before but would love a reminder! If I non-tender a player that is not yet eligible for minor league free agency, will they become a free agent (as the game's popup warns) or will they renew? And if they renew, do they renew at the same salary, or on a minor league contract? I have several non-tender candidates in an online league that would all be do for humble raises I don't want to give them. I would just cut them to be sure, but:

1. If they renew on milb contracts I want to keep them
2. If they hit free agency I'd like to offer them option contracts, and releasing them will burn that bridge.

Any clarity would be great! Here's what thw non-tender candidates look like on my salary page:

When you non-tender a player they become a free agent.

Non-tendering will not necessarily burn the bridge of offering them a contract once they become a free agent. That happens fairly regularly in real life baseball (i.e. a player gets non-tendered and then signes a minor league or lesser deal with the same team that non-tendered them).

Appreciated- I am concerned that in this specific circumastance, when a player is non-tendered bur not eligible for minor league FA the game will renew at the same salary rather than send them to FA. I know releasing them (rather than just non-tendering them) will prevent the renewal from happening, but, that mechanism would be more likely to keep the released player from signing afterward.

Minor league free agency is not a factor in non-tenders because they are on the major league roster. You are making them a major league free agent.
