QUOTE
Below is the updated list of potential compensation free agents, though their former clubs have to offer them arbitration in order to cash in on their departure. Type A free agents yield the signing team's first-round choice and a supplemental first-rounder, while Type Bs return only the sandwich-rounder. Clubs who finished in the bottom half of the major league standings can't surrender their first-round selection.
