Red Sox and LHP Franklin Morales avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.4875 million contract.
The 26-year-old swingman is coming off a strong 2012 season in which he compiled a 3.77 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 76/30 K/BB ratio over 76 1/3 innings. He'll head into spring training as a starter, and is well worth a late-round flyer in fantasy leagues due to his high strikeout potential.
