Mariners and 1B/OF Logan Morrison avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.75 million contract. Morrison requested $2.5 million and was offered $1.1 million from the Mariners when arbitration figures were exchanged last month, so the two sides settled for a little under the midpoint, but he can earn an additional $350,000 with incentives. The 26-year-old was acquired from the Marlins in December and remains under team control through 2016.
