Yanks decline arbitration to Abreu, others December 1, 2008 The Yankees decided not to offer arbitration to any of their eight free agents, which didn’t come as much of a surprise in seven of those cases. But in the case of Bobby Abreu, it makes very little sense. Unless the economy is going to have much more of an impact on free-agent signings than I think it does, there is virtually no chance that Abreu would have accepted arbitration, even though it would have guaranteed him about $16-17 million for 2009. Abreu is looking for a multi-year deal, and with the Cubs and Mets both expressing interest in him, it’s hard to see him settling for one year. Now, with no draft pick attached to Abreu, he’ll be even more appealing to other teams, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see his situation resolved in the next 10 days one way or another. Andy Pettitte was also not offered arbitration, though under the new rules, the Yankees can still negotiate with him and the rest of their free agents. Teams used to have to offer arbitration to continue talking to their free agents, but now the arbitration decision is all about compensation. Pettitte would have accepted arbitration, giving him another one-year deal at about the same $16 million he earned last year. The Yankees want him to take a pay cut and he doesn’t want to, making for a very interesting standoff. I’m fascinated to see which side bends, or whether this conflict leads to the end of Pettitte’s time in pinstripes once again. I know the Dodgers have been mentioned as a potential landing spot for Pettitte, but there’s no chance they would pay him $16 million, so if he’s going to take less, he’ll come back to the Bronx. Perhaps we’ve seen the last of Pettitte in a big-league uniform. The other free agents that would have gotten the Yankees compensatory draft picks were Pudge Rodriguez and Mike Mussina, but those would have made no sense. Pudge would have taken the offer and made about $13 million next year to be a part-time player, while Mussina has already retired. If you remember, the Yankees didn’t offer Roger Clemens arbitration after he retired in 2003, and when he decided to sign with Houston later that winter, the Yankees didn’t get a pick from the Astros. Apparently, they believe Mussina will live up to his word and stay retired. Then again, even if he decided to come back, it would probably be with the Yankees. CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Derek Lowe were all offered arbitration by their respective clubs, meaning the Yankees will have to give up their first-round pick to sign any one of them. But remember, the Yankees have an extra first- and second-rounder this year because they couldn’t sign their picks last year, so they have some picks to play with. 以下FA所属球队都有提出仲裁，所以如果洋基签下任何一人都会丧失今年第一轮的 选秀权，CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett Derek Lowe 但由於洋基未能签下今年第一轮与第二轮选的人， 所以明年选秀时，将多一个第一轮与一个第二轮选秀权 By Mark Feinsand on December 1, 2008 7:48 PM http://tinyurl.com/5g33cx 所以在未签FA前，洋基明年选秀会 有两个第一轮，两个第二轮 当然有签FA就会丧失选秀权-- Type A：第一轮 + 第一轮补偿（三明治） Type B：第一轮补偿（三明治） 是这样吗？ --
