Braves free agent reliever Ron Mahay declined the team's arbitration offer, as expected. By offering arbitration to the left-hander, the Braves assured themselves of a compensatory "sandwich" draft pick between the first and second rounds of the June draft after he signs with another team.Mahay had a 2.55 ERA in 58 appearances for Texas and Atlanta, going to the Braves with slugger Mark Teixeira in a July 31 trade. Teixeira isn't eligible for free agency until after the 2008 season.

Mahay is expected to command a multi-year contract worth about $3 million annually, more than the Braves were willing to offer the 36-year-old veteran, and far more than he would've gotten had he accepted arbitration and likely settled for a one-year deal worth about $2 million.

So where do you think mahay will land?
