Pirates, Hanrahan avoid arbitration

Found January 16, 2012 on Where Is Andy Van Slyke:
PLAYERS: Joel Hanrahan,  Chris Resop,  Garrett Jones,  Charlie Morton,  Evan Meek,  Casey McGehee
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pirates aggred to a one year, $4.1 million with Joel Hanrahan that has performance bonuses for games finished. That's pretty expected from all sides, as the club hasn't been discussing a long-term deal with Hanrahan. The club also came to terms with Chris Resop over the weekend, which leaves Garrett Jones, Charlie Morton, Jeff Karstens, Evan Meek, and Casey McGehee left on the list of arbitration-eligible players that they need to work a deal out with.
