Angels, Kendry Morales avoid arbitration

The Angels and first baseman Kendry Morales have agreed on one-year deal for $2.975 million to avoid salary arbitration, according to a source.

The deal also includes a $50,000 bonus for 550 plate appearances.

Morales  was hitting .290 with 11 home and 39 RBIs in 51 games before he suffered a season-ending leg injury when he landed wrong on home plate after a walkoff home run on May 29.

He placed fifth in the American League’s Most Valuable Player balloting in 2009 after hitting .306 with 34 homers and 108 RBIs.
