LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Catcher Yasmani Grandal and pitchers Luis Avilan, Josh Fields and Alex Wood agreed Friday to one-year deals with the Los Angeles Dodgers, avoiding arbitration.
Grandal hit .228 last season with 72 RBI and 27 home runs, which tied for the team lead and ranked second among major league catchers. The 28-year-old switch hitter hit his stride in July when he batted .324 with eight homers in 68 at-bats.
He wasn't as effective in the postseason, hitting .107 with one homer and three RBI.
Grandal began last season on the disabled list with right forearm soreness after spending last winter recovering from right shoulder surgery.
