Blanton, A's avoid arbitration


Oakland A's right-hander Joe Blanton, who's been among trade talks since Dan Haren was dealt to Arizona, signed a 1-year $3.7M deal on Friday, avoiding arbitration.


Blanton finished with a 14-10 record and a 3.95 ERA in 34 starts in 2007.


The A's also avoided arbitration with closer Huston Street on Thursday, agreeing to a 1-year $3.3M deal for 2008.
