The Giants did not offer arbitration to any of their free agents, including Type A catcher Bengie Molina. While this doesn’t mean the organization is cutting ties with Molina, it’s clear that GM Brian Sabean didn’t want his cleanup hitter back on a one-year contract. Molina would’ve earned more than his $6 million salary last season.

Randy Winn and Bob Howry were Type B free agents. The Giants won’t get any draft-pick compensation if those players sign with other clubs.
