Braves and RHP Brandon Beachy avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.45 million contract. Beachy had Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery in June 2012 and was limited to just five starts in 2013. He's expected to be 100 percent healthy heading into spring training next February and will try to get his career back on track. The 27-year-old right-hander was arbitration-eligible for the first time after earning a near-minimum $510,000 salary this past season.
