Confirmed: Dubinsky, Callahan, Boyle, Sauer file for arb

It's after 5 p.m., and Rangers have been notified that Ryan Callahan, Brandon Dubinsky, Brian Boyle and Michael Sauer have filed for arbitration.

Hearings will be scheduled in either late July or early August. Coming to a deal with the Rangers avoids a hearing. Happened with Girardi and Callahan in last two seasons.

I believe lower-priced Boyle and Sauer will be easiest to sign, other two might be trickier. But GM Glen Sather believes there is enough cap room and I believe, $$$$
