ANAHEIM, Calif. - The Los Angeles Angels offered salary arbitration Monday to free agents Mark Teixeira, Francisco Rodriguez, Jon Garland and Darren Oliver.
The club declined to offer arbitration to longtime outfielder Garret Anderson, general manager Tony Reagins said.
Free agents have until Sunday to accept arbitration offers. Anderson and Garland are Type B free agents, while the rest are Type A.
If the Type A free agents sign with other clubs, the Angels will receive two compensatory picks in the 2009 amateur draft. If Anderson or Garland decline arbitration and sign with another club, Los Angeles will receive a “sandwich” draft pick between the first and second round.
