The Red Sox avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.15 million non-guaranteed contract with
Burke Badenhop (not to be confused with
Boris Badenof). Last November, Boston sent 20-year old LHP
Luis Ortega to Milwaukee for the right-handed reliever—who had great success against righties in 2013 (holding them to a .229 average). Overall last year, Badenhop went 2-3 with a 3.47 ERA.
