So, what happens if the Red Sox sign Crawford/Beltre? Do they give up the 1st round pick they get from Detroit for losing Martinez, or do they give up their actual 1st round pick?
Ferrariman
their actual first rounder because it still isn’t a given they will get Detroit’s #19 pick(they could sign Werth/crawford meaning the red sox will get a 2nd round pick).

Two Questions: Does a team get a supplementary round pick even if they didn’t offer arbitration to a Type A? Can/Do teams trade away their picks if they are about to sign a Type A free agent and know they are going to lose the pick?

If you lose a Type A and you didn’t offer arb., then you wouldn’t get compensation unless said player signed with another club before the deadline for offering arb., as stated in article above. See John Buck.

The answer to both questions is no. In baseball, unlike football and basketball, you can’t trade your draft picks.

Now I get it. Thanks!

If a team offers a type B player arbitration, and then the player rejects it, but then signs a new contract with the original team, does the original team get a supplemental pick?
