December 6, 200322 yr Of course they won't offer him arbitration. If you do you must offer at least 80% of what he made last year, which was about $8MM. So KW would have to offer him over $6MM, which Robbie would take and we are stuck with the contract and no draft pick. Even KW is not that dumb. Forget the draft pick; it's gone, we gave Ring away for very little. Same scenario for Everett, just higher numbers.

December 6, 200322 yr So when he and Everett leave we will get a draft pick? No, the only way to receive draft pick compensation is if you offer them arbitration. In the cases of Everett and Alomar, they would likely accept it (cause they would get at the very worse a 20% pay cut) which would still make them incredibly overpaid.
December 6, 200322 yr To add to that, once the Sox do not offer arbitration to Alomar or Everett by Sunday night, then they will not be able to re-sign with the Sox until May 1. So consider them both gone.
