Padres and OF Seth Smith avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $4.5 million contract. CBS Sports' Jon Heyman passed along the contract terms. Smith, who was arbitration-eligible for the final time this winter, earned $3,675,000 with the A's last season while batting .253/.329/.391 with eight home runs and 40 RBI in 117 games. Acquired in December for Luke Gregerson, the 31-year-old is slated to be a fourth outfielder for the Padres in 2014.
