Daniel Murphy - 2B - New York Mets
Jan. 29, 2013 - 7:55 PM ET

Mets avoided arbitration with 2B Daniel Murphy by agreeing to a one-year, $2.925 million contract.

Murphy, who was arbitration-eligible for the first time, batted .291/.332/.403 with six homers last season while serving as the team's primary second baseman. He'll be the Mets' starter at second again in 2013.
