Angels Decline Molina Arbitration

Hardly a surprise, but noteworthy in that it almost certainly signals the end of Bengie's Angels career, as the club can't offer him a contract until May 1.

In addition, the Angels announced that they will refuse arbitration with Jason Christiansen and Lou Merloni, as well as reaffirming that no effort will be made to keep Jarrod Washburn.

Comments:


When these two sign with other teams, do the Angels get draft picks from the new team as compensation? Can anyone explain to me how that works?

If the Angels had offered arbitration to these players then they would get draft picks as compnesation. The level of those draft picks depends on the player and where he is specifically slotted according to some rule or another.

By not offering arbitration, a team is basically saying that they want no part of the free agent.
