Gardner avoids arbitration with one-year deal

NEW YORK -- The Yankees announced on Friday that they have agreed with outfielder Brett Gardner on a one-year contract, avoiding salary arbitration.

Financial terms of the agreement were not immediately available. Gardner, 29, was arbitration-eligible for the second time and earned $2.8 million in 2012.

The Yankees have envisioned Gardner as either their starting left fielder or center fielder in 2013, with a chance that Curtis Granderson would move to a corner outfield spot.

Gardner was limited to just 16 games this year due to a right elbow strain suffered in April that required arthroscopic surgery. He batted .323 (10-for-31) with two doubles and three RBIs at the big league level.

A career .266 hitter in 475 Major League games over five seasons, Gardner was a third-round selection of the Yankees in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft.
