Orioles, Guthrie reach deal, avoid arbitration
A day after acknowledging that starter Brad Bergesen will begin spring training with a shoulder injury, the Orioles made sure another member of their rotation would not arrive disgruntled for next week's camp opener.
The team and right-hander Jeremy Guthrie agreed Friday to a $3 million contract for 2010, alleviating the need for a potentially contentious arbitration hearing that had been scheduled for Tuesday in St. Petersburg, Fla., a day before Orioles pitchers and catchers report to Sarasota.
Guthrie, 30, who was 10-17 with a 5.04 ERA in 200 innings last season, had filed for $3.625 million, while the club had countered with $2.3 million.
