ATLANTA -- The Braves won't be going to arbitration with Rafael Soriano next month -- and they no longer have to worry about having to bid for his services next offseason.
Braves general manager Frank Wren announced on Thursday afternoon that the club has agreed to terms on a two-year contract with Soriano, who would have been eligible for free agency at the end of the 2008 season. The right-handed reliever had been the Braves' only remaining unsigned arbitration-eligible player.
Financial terms weren't disclosed.
