The Rays have avoided arbitration with infielder Sean Rodriguez, agreeing to terms on a one-year, $1MM deal, tweets Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune.
Rodriguez, in his first year of arbitration, was projected by MLBTR to earn about $1.2MM, so his $1MM salary for 2013 seems about right. The utility infielder spent extensive time at second base, shortstop, and third base for Tampa Bay in 2012, posting a slash line of .213/.281/.326 in 342 plate appearances.
