Ryan Howard and the Philadelphia Phillies are far apart in their arbitration talks. The Phillies offered Howard $7 million while Howard is seeking $10, the biggest gap among the 48 players who exchanged proposals with their teams.

Aaron Heilman avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year $1.2-million contract.

Pedro Feliciano, Ryan Church, Endy Chavez, Oliver Perez and Jorge Sosa have exchanged offers with the Mets and have filed for arbitration.

Notable players who did reach an agreement with their teams are Matt Holiday, Miguel Cabrera, Justin Morneau, Carlos Pena, and Scott Kazmir. Holiday was the only player to strike a multi-year deal, $23 million over two years.
