Official: No arbitration offers for Mets »

No great surprise on the arbitration front, where the Mets declined to
offer it to any of their free agents.

Only Carlos Delgado or Fernando Tatis would have yielded a draft pick if
he was offered arbitration and signed elsewhere. But it made no sense in
either case to offer arbitration.

So based on your subject line, it would appear that you wanted Omar to offer them arbitration. Yet the article you posted pointed out that not offering arbitration was the wise thing to do as they likely would have accepted the arbitration, meaning no draft picks. Make up your mind.
