PrintAlso, Ryu was claimed by the Padres. I don't think I am going to be able to sleep tonight. :(
Per the Heater:
The Rays avoided arbitration with RHP Grant Balfour on Thursday, agreeing to a one-year, $1.4-million deal.
Balfour made $500,000 in a breakout 2008 season that began with him in the minors, going 6-2 with a 1.54 ERA, four saves and 82 strikeouts in 58 1/3 innings, emerging as one of the top relievers in the league.
The Rays have three remaining arbitration eligibles – INF Willy Aybar, SS Jason Bartlett, and C Dioner Navarro.

I hope we are able to avoid ARB with all of the guys
nothing good comes from arguing that your player isn’t worth as much as he thinks he is.

As I posted in the other thread
I want them to strike a deal with Aybar and Navi then get pissed at Barty, trade him and call up Brignac
but that is convalued and wont happen.
