Brewers avoided arbitration with RHP Marco Estrada by agreeing to a one-year, $1.955 million contract.
Estrada was arbitration-eligible for the first time. The right-hander put up a surprising 3.64 ERA and 143/29 K/BB ratio over 138 1/3 innings in 2012 and will pitch in the middle of the Brewers' rotation this season.
