Braves, Francoeur agree on $3.375M deal (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Outfielder Jeff Francoeur has agreed to a $3.375 million, one-year contract with the Atlanta Braves, avoiding an arbitration hearing. The two sides reached agreement shortly before midnight Wednesday at the midway point between their two offers, just hours before they were scheduled to fly to Arizona for a Friday hearing.
