Melky Cabrera and the Atlanta Braves avoid salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.1 million deal.

Cabrera was acquired by the Braves from the New York Yankees last month in the five-player deal that sent Javier Vazquez to the Bronx.

Cabrera made $1.425 million last season while hitting .274 with 13 home runs and 68 RBIs in 2009. You can see Melky Cabrera’s statistics here.
