Harrison and the Pirates avoided arbitration by agreeing to a $2.8 million contract for 2015, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports. 2014 was a dream season for Harrison, finishing second in the NL batting race while playing multiple positions and cementing himself as building block for the Pirates. He was rewarded with a pay raise of more than $2 million in his first go-around in the arbitration process. It's worth noting Harrison's .315 batting average was likely buoyed by a BABIP 40 points higher than his career average, indicating random chance played at least a small part in his breakout season. Still, he'll be an intriguing pick-up next year, possibly qualifying as a third baseman, second baseman, and outfielder.
