Do the new CBA rules regarding the draft cap go into effect this year or next year?

This year, I'm afraid.

There were 12 Type A's offered arb and 22 Type B's. Some of which will wind up back with their current team, but I was wrong when I said 4 of the top 60ish, probably more like 4 of the top 80 or so. JeffH makes a great point though, if we sign a Type A, it'll be the last of those picks we lose. Keeping picks is a slight advantage towards the signings of Cespedes and/or Darvish though.
