MILWAUKEE, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- The Milwaukee Brewers and first baseman Prince Fielder avoided arbitration and agreed to a one-year, $15 million contract, the team announced Tuesday.
The deal is the richest single-season contract in the history of the sport for a non-free agent player in arbitration, beating the $12.5 million paid by the Atlanta Braves to Mark Teixeira two years ago, MLB.com reported.
