Brewers avoided arbitration with RHP Shaun Marcum by agreeing to a one-year contract.
They settled at the $7.725 million midpoint. The two sides are interested in discussing a long-term extension at some point, but for now they'll just settle for the one-year deal. Marcum faded down the stretch in 2011 but still finished with a 3.54 ERA in his first season with the Brew Crew. He'll be the No. 3 starter in what should be another strong Brewers rotation.
