The Red Sox had a flurry of activity at last Friday’s deadline with arbitration-eligible players, inking deals with 12 players (scroll through the history over at @RSNStats to see what transpired).

One name that doesn’t show up, however, is Mookie Betts, who is seeking $10.5 million for 2018 compared to the club’s offer of $7.5 million. The two are now heading for an arbitration hearing next month, though nothing stops them from agreeing to a deal before then. If it gets to the meeting, the three-member arbitration panel will choose either Betts’ number or the club’s for 2018, there’s no in-between. Evan Drellich at NBCSports Boston explains the process in depth, along with each side’s major considerations.

During the off-season you’ll always see deals involving Red Sox players on Twitter at @RSNStats (and @RSNStatsNews). To hear about other players of interest to Red Sox Nation (such as those involving former Sox players, or key players among Boston’s division rivals), follow the new @RSNStatsPLUS+ as well.

Now a few other notes of interest to Red Sox fans:
