• Baseball Cardinals Offer Arbitration to Pujols

NEW YORK - Albert Pujols was offered salary arbitration Wednesday by the St. Louis Cardinals, guaranteeing the team two extra draft picks next year if the All-Star first baseman signs with a new club. Teams faced decisions on just seven Type A free agents as the 11 p.m. CST deadline approached Wednesday. A new club signing one of those players would lose a top pick in June's amateur draft and a team that offers arbitration and loses one of those players would receive two extra selections as compensation.

• Baseball; Big Names Not Offered Arbitration

Dallas The action picked up Wednesday as six trades were made at baseball's winter meetings, but some of the biggest news came from teams who chose not to offer their free agents salary arbitration. In an agonizing decision, the Houston Astros said no on right- hander Roger Clemens, the hometown icon who led the major leagues with a 1.87 ERA last season. Players not offered arbitration cannot re-sign with their teams before May 1, which usually means cutting ties.
