The Brewers are still deciding whether or not to offer big-name free agents like CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets arbitration to ensure they receive compensation in the event they sign elsewhere. "Monday is a big day," general manager Doug Melvin said. "A lot of teams are waiting until that day passes to make other decisions." Offering arbitration would lessen the blow of losing guys like Sabathia, Sheets, Eric Gagne and Brian Shouse, but cold also lock the team into high-priced, one-year contracts.
