Bryan Hoch reports that the Yankees have offered arbitration to A-Rod, Mo, Pettitte and Vizcaino. This ensures that the Yanks will receive compensation, in the form of draft picks, should any of the four leave for another team. Seemingly, though, it's little more than a formality for A-Rod, Mo and Pettitte, due to the fact that the first two are near deals and Pettitte has said that he'll play for the Yankees or no one at all.

They declined to offer arbitration to Clemens, Mientkiewicz, Molina and Vilone.
