Deadline approaches for four players 　　 　　Tomorrow is the non-tender deadline. So what is that? 　　Players with between 3-5 years of MLB experience are arbitration eligible. 　　Teams can retain them by simply offering them a contract. If the player 　　doesn’t like the offer, the sides can go to arbitration. 　　Arbitration is a nasty business that involves the team running down the 　　virtues of a player they will be keeping just to save money. It creates 　　bad feelings and most teams try to avoid it. 　　If a team doesn’t want to risk arbitration or simply wants to get rid of 　　the player, they can “non-tender” him. Those players then become free 　　agents. Boston signed David Ortiz after Minnesota non-tendered him. 　　The Yankees have four players to make decisions on: INF Wilson Betemit, 　　RHP Brian Bruney, 2B Robinson Cano and RHP Chien-Ming Wang.　 　　Betemit, Cano and Wang will be offered contracts and probably sign before 　　they go to arbitration. Given their production, Cano and Wang will be in 　　for major raises. The Yankees might even entertain the idea of signing 　　them to long-term deals, which is what the Mets did with Jose Reyes and 　　David Wright. Curiously, the Yankees never do that. 　　Bruney is a question mark. He throws hard but lacks command and has been 　　oddly resistant to advice. Opponents had an .887 OPS against Bruney in the 　　second half and he walked 12 batters in 15 innings. 　　He could be worth keeping if only to see if new pitching coach Dave Eiland 　　can get through to him. But with the Yankees needing roster spots, it 　　wouldn’t be surprise if they cut Bruney loose. 　　News source：http://0rz.tw/793qW 　　翻译：http://0rz.tw/643rk --
