"The Padres Monday reduced their number of pending arbitration cases to one when they reached a 2012 salary agreement with Clayton Richard.

The 28-year-old, left-handed starter will make $2.705 million this season.

Richard had been seeking $3.1 million this year while the Padres arbitration figure was $2.35 million.

Richard's signing leaves right-handed pitcher Dustin Moseley as the last of the club's 11 arbitration-eligible players to reach an agreement for 2013. Moseley's arbitration hearing is scheduled for next month. Moseley is seeking $2.55 million while the club's offer is $1.5 million."
