Yeah, you have to offer him arb to get the picks, and after making $22M to go for 30+ bombs and 100 RBI, he won't take a cut in arbitration. He's already said he wants to stay, so he'll accept arb. The only option for the Yankees is to take him at his word and work out a reduced AAV deal, or let him go all-together. No picks coming back from Giambi (unless they broker some under the table deal for him to decline arb).
