SEATTLE (AP) — The Mariners have offered salary arbitration to third baseman Adrian Beltre while declining to offer it to pitcher Erik Bedard.

By not offering arbitration to Bedard before Tuesday's 9 p.m. PST deadline, the Mariners will not be entitled to receive draft picks as compensation next June if the free agent signs with another team after two disappointing, injury-filled seasons with Seattle.

Beltre, a two-time Gold Glove winner, has until Monday to accept the offer.

Both became free agents following the World Series.

2 things i would like to say. 1. I miss nadine, and why she left so fast. I hope her health is not the reason. 2. mariners better play smart and keep beltre, instead of getting rid of the great players.
