Baseball arbitration involves no compromise; It's either $5M or it's $4.25M. Josh Byrnes must be referring to pre-arbitration negotiations (or he was simply misquoted).
But I believe the D'backs and Byrnes could still negotiate a compromise independently, right up until they present their case? I'd presume that was what was meant here.
Your assumption is my assumption too -- pre-arb negotiations.
"There's a lot of information that goes into arbitration, things we point to, things the other side points to. Sometimes, a compromise is made easily. Sometimes, it isn't."
This had to be a case of scout.com taking two unrelated quotes and melding them into one misleading quote.

Throughout the spring and early part of the 2006 season, there was always talk about young players like shortstop Stephen Drew and outfielders Carlos Quentin and Chris Young, all of whom began the year in Triple-A.
"It's enjoyable for a manager and a coaching staff to have players at this point in their careers," said Melvin, who also did not use the word development when talking about his team. "You have a chance to be influential with guys at their stage, and we feel like we've got a great coaching staff that will do that."
