Guess everyone wrong, no arbitration for Nixon... too bad thought he would fill utility role well, very disapointed about Loretta as he seemed to be a real asset and a consummate professional.

BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Red Sox on Friday declined to offer salary arbitration to outfielders Trot Nixon and Gabe Kapler, catcher Doug Mirabelli and second baseman Mark Loretta.
Nixon is the longest-tenured member of the Red Sox organization, a first-round draft choice in 1993 by then-general manager Lou Gorman. Nixon became the regular right-fielder in 1999 and has been a favorite of his teammates and fans for his aggressive play.
He has batted .278 with 133 homers and 523 RBIs but also made frequent trips to the disabled list, including last year, when he missed all of August with a strained right biceps.
Manager Terry Francona let Nixon tak
