5:14pm: The Yankees have agreed to a non-guaranteed one-year contract with Nathan Eovaldi, avoiding arbitration, the team announced. Financial terms of the deal are unknown. I’m sure they’ll be reported soon enough. Eovaldi is under team control through 2017.

Prior to last Friday’s deadline, Eovaldi filed for a $6.3M salary while the Yankees countered with $4.9M. The midpoint is $5.6M, which is slightly under MLBTR’s $5.
