Marlins and OF Giancarlo Stanton avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $6.5 million contract. He can earn an additional $100,000 if he reaches 600 plate appearances. The $6.5 million figure is just $900,000 short of Miguel Cabrera's team record $7.4 million for a first-time arbitration-eligible player. Stanton hit .249/.365/.480 with 24 homers in 2013 while being limited to 116 games due to injury.
