Morton, Hanrahan avoid arbitration, sign deals for 1 year

"The Pirates agreed to terms with Joel Hanrahan and Charlie Morton on one-year contracts Monday, which allowed both players to avoid salary arbitration and reduced the number of unsigned players to four.

Hanrahan will make $4.1 million and can earn up to an additional $50,000 in performance-based incentives, according to a source. Morton, according to sources, will make $2,445,000. Morton was eligible for arbitration for the first time, Hanrahan for the second time.

Hanrahan, 30, saved 40 games last season and made the National League All-Star team. The right-hander also avoided arbitration before last season, agreeing to terms on a one-year, $1.4 million contract for 2011."
