Freese hit .293 last season with career highs of 20 homers and 79 RBIs while topping 100 games for the first time.

Freese will earn $3.15 million under his one-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals, nearly six times the $518,000 he made last year. The 2011 World Series MVP had asked for $3.75 million and had been offered $2.4 million when players and teams exchanged arbitration figures last month. Friday's agreement made Freese the final player to settle among the three Cardinals who filed for arbitration.

A St. Louis County native, Freese hit .283 with 20 home runs and 79 RBIs last season and earned his first All-Star appearance. He was eligible for arbitration for the first time.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Freese have reached agreement on a one-year contract that avoids salary arbitration.

Terms of the deal announced Friday were not disclosed. The Cardinals have now come to terms with all arbitration-eligible players. Freese is a St. Louis County native. The third baseman hit .283 with 20 home runs and 79 RBIs last season and earned his first All-Star appearance.
