Yankees Reach Agreement With Russell Martin Before Arbitration Hearing

by Dan

The Yankees have avoided arbitration by reaching terms with Russell Martin on a one year deal, reports Mike Axisa.  It was reported that the Yankees offered Martin a $7 million dollar contract and his agent Matt Colleran filed for $8.2 million, making it likely the two sides reached an agreement for a one year, $7.6 million dollar contract.  Martin is eligible for free agency after this season.
