Padres will not offer arbitration to Brian Giles and Henry Blanco
Nova Fantasy Sports —
Update: According to MLB.com , the Padres will not offer arbitration to catcher Henry Blanco and fan favorite Brian Giles.
Fantasy Impact: The news on Giles does not come as a surprise and the team could possibly bring him back for less than his arbitration number would have been. This was a good move by the Padres, especially when they have such a low payroll. Blanco will be an attractive option for several teams in need of a catcher. The Mets are a very possible destination for the veteran catcher.
