Twins Decline Salary Arbitration On Brian Fuentes, Jon Rauch

Left-handed reliever Brian Fuentes and right-handed relievers Matt Guerrier and Jon Rauch were not offered arbitration, meaning the Twins will not receive compensation through Draft picks. Guerrier was classified as a Type A free agent, meaning the Twins could have picked up two Draft picks by offering arbitration and Guerrier declining, with one pick coming in the first round if it was not among the protected first 15. Fuentes and Rauch are Type B free agents.
