Red Sox offer arbitration to Gagne

Don’t worry:

Even though the Red Sox have offered salary arbitration to Eric Gagne, they have no interest in retaining him.

Gagne’s failures with the Red Sox have been well-documented, and it’s evident that both he and the team are planning to go their separate ways.

The Sox are (safely) assuming that he will decline arbitration, at which point the Sox would receive a draft pick for compensation.

Gagne has until December 7th to make up his mind.

According to the Boston Globe, arbitration will not be offered to Matt Clement, Doug Mirabelli, Royce Clayton, Eric Hinske or Bobby Kielty.

The Red Sox can still sign any of these players as free agents, though.
