The San Francisco Giants did not offer catcher Bengie Molina arbitration, meaning he will not cost the team that signs him draft picks.
Here’s a collection of reaction from around the Mets blogosphere…
MetsBlog - News: Giants do NOT offer Arbitration to Molina
…from what i can gather, the Giants are likely to offer molina a one-year deal, worth around $4 million, with incentives… but, i bet the Mets offer him a similar deal, with an option for 2011, and a bit more money… and i have no idea why, which you can read more about here…
Amazin’ Avenue - Obligatory Bengie Molina Objection Post
It also seemingly clears the way for the unholy union between Molina and the Mets, not that something like draft pick compensation would've stood in the way between Omar Minaya and a lousy baseball decision (we weren't going to sign that draft pick anyway!).
Mets Fever - Giants don't offer arby to Molina
Well the Mets don't have to worry about making that decision, since the Giants decided to not offer him arbitration, it's not all good news since now he becomes appealing to any team looking for a catcher.
I’m far from enamored with Molina. I think he’s overpriced and not worth anywhere near the contract he’ll likely sign for (probably with the Mets).
What’s your take on the Molina situation?
