Braves and Francoeur Avoid Arbitration

Late Wednesday night, the Braves and Jeff Francoeur agreed on a one year, $3.375 million contract that with incentives could be worth $3.4 million. The number represents the mid point between the Braves $2.8 million offer and Francoeur’s $3.95 million request.

The late night work session, prevented Frenchy from missing two days of spring training. He would have had to have left camp on Thursday morning to get out to Phoenix for Friday’s arbitration meeting.
