Yankees offered arbitration to 3B Alex Rodriguez, RHP Mariano Rivera, LHP Andy Pettitte and RHP Luis Vizcaino; declined to offer arbitration to RHP Roger Clemens, C Jose Molina and LHP Ron Villone.
The Yanks still haven't finalized their agreements with A-Rod, Rivera and Molina. Molina is still going to get his two-year, $4 million contract, even with the move to not offer him arbitration. The Yankees would net two picks if Pettitte signs elsewhere (doubtful) and a supplemental first-rounder for losing Vizcaino.

I am not sure why no arbitration to Molina or Villone - thought they did pretty well in their roles. Perhaps out Yankee friends can shed some lights?
