Cards sign Ludwick to $3.7M, 1-year deal (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Ryan Ludwick and the St. Louis Cardinals agreed to a $3.7 million, one-year contract and avoided an arbitration hearing that was scheduled for Tuesday. The outfielder had asked for $4.25 million when exchanging proposed arbitration figures last month and the team had offered $2.8 million, making Monday's settlement $175,000 above the midpoint.
