The Boston Red Sox and designated hitter David Ortiz avoid arbitration by agreeing to terms on a one-year, non-guaranteed contract the club announced on Monday.

Last season Ortiz hit .309 with 162 hits, 70 extra-base hits, 40 doubles, a .398 on-base percentage, .554 slugging percentage and .953 OPS in 146 games, all his best marks since 2007.

Ortiz led all designated hitters in average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, extra-base hits, home runs (29), RBI (96), runs (84), walks and total bases (291).

The Red Sox have no remaining unsigned players eligible for salary arbitration.
