Jim Fainter Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 So when he and Everett leave we will get a draft pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 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.

Rex Hudler Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
