The Red Sox have offered Jason Bay & Billy Wagner arbitration. Paul Bryd, Rocco Baldelli & Chris Woodward were not offered arbitration.
Since Bay & Wagner are Type A free agents the Red Sox will now receive compensation via prospects if either signs with another club. Bay will certainly decline. Wagner is rumored to have a 1-year deal in place with Atlanta.
In the scheme of things, getting prospects is a small piece to the Red Sox puzzle during this off-season. But something is better than nothing. To me it shows the attention to detail by Theo & staff to be sure even the little things are attended to. Who knows? There may be a budding Youk or Pedroia in those prospects.
