The Cleveland Indians have agreed to a one-year, $9.7 million deal with Justin Masterson, avoiding arbitration.
The agreement is $162,500 below midpoint of the $11.8 million he had asked for and the $8.05 million Cleveland had offered when players and teams swapped figures last month.
Masterson led the Indians in wins last year when he went 14-10 with a 3.45 ERA. He can earn additional award bonuses as part of the deal.
