Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports that Kevin Frandsen is close to avoiding arbitration with the Phillies by agreeing to a new deal.
Frandsen received lots of playing time at third base down the stretch for the Phils, batting .338/.383/.451 with two homers over 55 games. Philly is expected to sign a third baseman this winter, allowing Frandsen to operate as a utility infielder.
