The Cardinals have announced agreement on a one-year contract with right fielder Ryan Ludwick, allowing the sides to avoid the possibility of an arbitration hearing.
Ludwick will be paid $5.45 million for the 2010 season.
The deal leaves second baseman Skip Schumaker as the club’s only remaining arbitration case. The two sides are believed close to an agreement as well.
Reaching agreement with Ludwick is pivotal to the club moving ahead to address its remaining needs, which include another outfielder (preferably a lefthanded-hitting one) and a set-up reliever who could serve as a secondary closer.
