MINNEAPOLIS -- The deadline for teams to offer salary arbitration to their free agents is Monday, and the Twins face a decision on one of their four free agents.

Left-hander Dennys Reyes qualified as a Type-B free agent based on the Elias Sports Bureau's annual ranking of Major League players. If the Twins offer Reyes arbitration and he signs with another team, the club will receive a supplemental pick in next June's First-Year Player Draft. If the Twins don't offer him arbitration, they would forfeit compensation for Reyes.

Teams must decide by 11:00 p.m. CT on Monday whether to offer arbitration to their free agents. Players then have until Dec. 7 to accept or reject the offer.

The expectation is that the Twins will offer Reyes arbitration and guarantee themselves the Draft pick should Reyes leave. The team has already expressed interest in resigning the left-hander, and it could afford the salary if he accepts the offer, which is unlikely. But Reyes, who will likely will get a multi-year deal on the open market, could still sign with the Twins even if he turns down arbitration.

Last offseason, the Twins didn't have to worry about whether or not to offer arbitration to Type-A free agent Torii Hunter because he signed with the Angels before the deadline. Since Hunter was a Type-A free agent, the Twins automatically received the Angels' first-round pick and a supplemental Draft pick.

The Twins have three other free agents besides Reyes -- Nick Punto, Adam Everett and Eddie Guardado -- but none of them qualified to be a Type-A or Type-B free agent. Since none of these players would garner the club compensation, it's very unlikely that any of them would be offered salary arbitration.

Monday's deadline could also slightly alter the free-agency landscape for the Twins. The club has been reluctant to sign any Type-A free agents, knowing that it would cost a first-round Draft pick in next June's First-Year Player Draft. However, if a Type-A free agent is not offered salary arbitration by his club on Monday, then it could perhaps change the Twins' thinking on that particular player.
