| 7th November, 2007 - 11:16 am |  New York Post - The last small, but real, lifeline between the Yankees and Alex Rodriguez still exists - arbitration.
When asked last weekend if the Yanks would offer arbitration to Rodriguez, GM Brian Cashman said, “of course." But the idea was not based on retaining A-Rod. Cashman thought there was little possibility Rodriguez would accept a one-year deal.
“It is about the two draft picks," Cashman said. “By offering arbitration, we get the first-round pick of the team that signs him and a sandwich pick."
Teams have until Dec. 1 to offer arbitration to their own free agents, and players must accept or reject by Dec. 7. If the player accepts, he is deemed a signed player and would either negotiate a contract or have an arbitrator decide the outcome. [READ] |
