Royals declined to offer arbitration to OF Rondell White, C Brent Mayne, C Mike DiFelice, C Tom Prince, RHP Jose Lima, RHP Jamey Wright, RHP Al Levine LHP Graeme Lloyd.
GM Allard Baird also confirmed that the Royals will get a draft pick from the Giants for Michael Tucker. Thanks to the foolishness of other GMs, the Royals have picked up three free draft picks for Raul Ibanez and Tucker, neither of whom would have been offered arbitration. As of right now, they're due to receive first-round selections from both Seattle and San Francisco. However, those picks could become second or third rounders if the Mariners or Giants sign superior free agents. The sandwich pick between the first and second rounds that the Royals received for losing Ibanez is guaranteed.
