in the previous off-season, or, more recently, if a team fails to sign a draft pick from the previous year. The Expos/Nationals have failed to sign four of their first-round picks: Condredge Holloway (1971), Charles Johnson (1989), John Patterson (1996), and Aaron Crow (2008). The Expos received no compensation for failing to sign Holloway, but received the 40th pick in 1990, the 52nd pick in 1997, and the 10th pick in 2009 for failing to sign Johnson, Patterson, and Crow, respectively. Key Picks See also Washington Nationals minor league players Footnotes Through the 2012 draft, free agents were evaluated by the Elias Sports Bureau and rated "Type A", "Type B", or not compensation-eligible. If a team offered arbitration to a player but that player refused and subsequently signed with another team, the original team was able to receive additional draft picks. If a "Type A" free agent left in this way, his previous team received a supplemental pick and a compensatory pick from the team with which he signed. If a "Type B" free agent left in this way, his previous team received only a supplemental pick. Since the 2013 draft, free agents are no longer classified by type; instead, compensatory picks are only awarded if the team offered its free agent a contract worth at least the average of the 125 current richest MLB contracts. However, if the free agent's last team acquired the player in a trade during the last year of his contract, it is ineligible to receive compensatory picks for that player. The Expos and other expansion teams (Seattle Pilots, Kansas City Royals, and San Diego Padres) did not receive first-round picks in 1968. They began the selection process at the end of the fourth round of the regular phase. The Expos gained a compensatory first-round pick in 1980 from the New York Yankees for losing free agent Rudy May. The Expos lost their first-round pick in 1982 to the Chicago Cubs as compensation for signing free agent Tim Blackwell. The Expos gained a compensatory first-round pick in 1983 from the San Francisco Giants for losing free agent Joel Youngblood. The Expos gained a supplemental first-round pick in 1984 for losing free agent Manny Trillo. The Expos gained a supplemental first-round pick in 1987 for losing free agent Andre Dawson.
