Diamondbacks avoided arbitration with RHP Brad Ziegler by agreeing to a one-year contract. Financials of the deal aren't known. Ziegler, who was in his second year of arbitration, posted a 2.49 ERA out of the pen in 2012 in his first full year with the D'Backs. He'll be used as a right-handed specialist again in 2013.
