Crow and the Marlins avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.975 million deal Friday, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports. Acquired from Kansas City in November, Crow posted a 6-1 record last year but saw his strikeout rate drop from 8.25 per nine innings in 2013 down to 5.19 in 2014. He figures to be in the late-inning mix for the Miami bullpen.
