Youkilis/Sox agree on contract

First baseman Kevin Youkilis and the Boston Red Sox agreed Sunday to a $3 million, one-year contract, avoiding a salary arbitration hearing.

Youkilis had filed for $3.7 million and the Red Sox for $2,525,000 when the sides exchanged proposed salaries in arbitration last month. He made $424,500 last season, when he hit .288 with 16 homers and 83 RBIs.

Boston had previously reached agreements with its other two players in arbitration, pitchers Javier Lopez ($840,000) and Kyle Snyder ($835,000).
