Padres avoided arbitration with SS Everth Cabrera by agreeing to a one-year, $2.45 million contract. Cabrera was in his second year of arbitration eligibility after qualifying for Super Two status last winter. The speedy shortstop batted .283/.355/.381 with 37 stolen bases over 95 games last season before getting popped with a PED suspension.
