Around SBN: PHOTOS: Mike Moser's Dunk Face Is Spectacular

As expected, the M's have offered arbitration to Beltre and not to Bedard. Remember that, with the new changes, the Mariners can still negotiate with Bedard if they want to, whereas in the past they wouldn't have been able to until May 15th.

But...

I’ve read a lot of stuff saying that if he isn’t offered arbitration, he’s unlikely to resign.

Do you have links?

In the past this would be the case because the Mariners wouldn’t be able to negotiate until May 15th of next season (making him unlikely to re-sign), but with that rule abolished there is no reason for the Mariners to offer arbitration to Branyan.

And Branyan wants more than 1 year anyways

Wouldn’t really make a difference for either of them as far as what’s kept them from making a deal so far.

Of course, being the Royals they wasted the supplemental pick

… Erik Cordier 22nd pick in the second round (63rd overall), who in five years in the minors has yet to get out of A-ball.

The Royals only got a second round pick because the Mariners also signed Guardado that off-season; Guardado ranked higher than Ibañez so the Twins got the Mariners first round pick. The Twins, being the Twins, appear to have turned that pick into decent value – they selected Glen Perkins with the Mariners first round pick.

I remember when we had this conversation about Greg Colbrunn!
