Today, the Red Sox offered arbitration to closer Jonathan Papelbon and outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury (right). This is Papelbon's last year of arbitration and will be looking for a raise of last year's $11 million. Last year was his worst season at 5-7/3.90/76, and since he will be probably looking for more money than he deserves, although he's a good player. Jacoby Ellsbury had his worst season in 2010 as well, he was injured much of the year, and went .192/0/5 in his 18 games. Ellsbury will probably be searching for $2 million, according to sources. The Red Sox will hopefully be able to keep Theo Epstein's arbitration-less streak in his career as GM. The Red Sox will be able to keep the streak going, presumably, since they always have in the past.
