Is this because
The new CBA will not take away draft compensation for type B free agents? Or at least not for the 2012 June amateur draft?
"Just shut up and play" - Matt Garza
It seems like the latter.
But maybe someone who’s been following that story closely can clarify.
Baseball is pitching, offensive production, baserunning and defense.
We won't know
until it is signed.
10-25-2011. Theo Epstein joins the Cubs. Now, the fun begins.
Sounds like you're correct
Type B compensation will go away, but not this off season. I wonder if there is any thoughts to changing how MLB determines Type A and Type B compensation. There are holes in how its determined right now, via the Elias rankings.
That would be a pleasant surprise.
Speaking of which, check out this great Fangraphs article on that very topic from yesterday.
