SAN DIEGO -- Chase Headley and the Padres have avoided salary arbitration, agreeing on an US$8,575,000, one-year contract that gives the San Diego third baseman a US$5.1 million raise following his huge 2012 season.

Long touted as a future star, the 28-year-old Headley broke out with 31 home runs and an NL-best 115 RBIs last season, when he made US$3,475,000. The switch-hitter batted .286 with a .376 on-base percentage and finished fifth in MVP voting while winning a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger award.

He asked for US$10.3 million while the Padres countered at US$7,075,000 when the sides exchanged figures in arbitration this month. The gap of US$3,225,000 was the largest for any major league player.
