Dodgers avoid arbitration with four more players, including Kenley Jansen

The Dodgers pushed their payroll to about $200 million Friday by reaching agreements on one-year contracts with their four remaining arbitration-eligible players.

The largest salary was awarded to closer Kenley Jansen, who will earn $10.65 million this year, an increase from the $7.425 million he earned last year. Third baseman Justin Turner ($5.1 million), catcher Yasmani Grandal ($2.8 million) and left-hander Luis Avilan ($1.39 million) were the other arbitration-eligible players who received significant raises.

Friday was the deadline for teams to exchange salary figures with their arbitration-eligible players.
