Last Tuesday, lost in the shuffle of the madness that was transaction flurry in the leadup to the lockout, was the deadline for teams around the league to tender contracts to their arbitration-eligible players. It’s typically not the most high-profile day on the offseason schedule, but it is a pretty important day and one that front offices are always paying attention to. Most players were tendered deals, as is the case every winter, but those who were not now enter a free agent pool. For a team like the Red Sox who have largely sat out the spending spree around the league over the last few days, that is important as they still need to fill some holes.
