콜레티 니가 그렇지 이 썩을넘아(by Jon Weismen)

Dodger general manager Ned Colletti was interviewed on Sirius XM radio's "Power Alley" by Seth Everett and Jim Duquette (link via Vin Scully Is My Homeboy), and he gave this explanation of why the Dodgers didn't offer Randy Wolf salary arbitration. I had heard this from sources off the record, but this was the first time I believe I've heard it on the record.

"The reason (we didn't offer arbitration) was we thought he would take it," Colletti said. "At $12-13 million a year, we weren't prepared to do that. And you know what, the people I've talked to since, that are very close to him, say that 'You know what, he would have taken it.' And I wasn't prepared to pay him $12-13 million for one year, nor was I prepared to pay him $8 or $9 million for three years."

The last part of the comment refers to a scenario where Wolf would have leveraged the potential eight-figure annual salary into a multiyear contract that would have been cheaper annually but ultimately guaranteed him much more money.

I still believe that the Dodgers should have offered Wolf arbitration. I do feel that Wolf, who had 2 1/2 sub-par seasons in a row before turning things around in mid-2008, is poised to decline entering his age-34 season in 2010 – so despite how good he was for the Dodgers in 2009, if you're convinced he was going to accept arbitration, there is a case that you can find better ways to spend money. Whether the Dodgers have done that or not is another matter.
