Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Pittsburgh Pirates have avoided arbitration with Evan Meek, signing the reliever to a one-year contract. Meek endured a forgettable 2011 campaign as injuries limited him to only 24 games.

 

For his career, Meek has compiled a 7-7 record with four saves and a 3.08 ERA in 144 games, all with the Pirates.

 

Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Minnesota Twins agreed on Tuesday to one-year contracts with left-handed pitchers Francisco Liriano and Glen Perkins, avoiding arbitration. Liriano, 29, posted a 9-10 record with a 5.09 earned run average, 112 strikeouts and 75 walks in a disappointing 2011 for the Twins in which they finished last in the American League Central Division with a 63-99 mark.

 

The highlight of the season for Liriano came on May 3 when he threw a no- hitter in a 1-0 win over the Chicago White Sox.

 

Liriano will make $5.5 million in 2012, while Perkins will collect $1.55 million.

 

San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Francisco Giants have avoided arbitration with Nate Schierholtz, signing the outfielder to a one- year contract. Schierholtz hit .278 with nine home runs and 41 RBI in 115 games with the Giants last season.

 

San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Diego Padres agreed to one-year contracts with nine arbitration eligible players on Tuesday, including offseason acquisitions Edinson Volquez and Carlos Quentin. Catcher Nick Hundley and infielder Chase Headley also agreed to contracts for the 2012 season, along with pitchers Luke Gregerson, Tim Stauffer and Joe Thatcher, outfielder Will Venable and catcher John Baker.

 

Hundley, 28, hit a career-high .288 with nine home runs, 29 RBI and 34 runs scored in 82 games for the Padres last season. He batted .367 over the final 37 games of 2011 after returning from right elbow surgery in early August.

 

Gregerson went 3-3 with a career-best 2.75 ERA and 34 strikeouts in 61 relief appearances for the Padres a season ago. The 27-year-old righty has 216 strikeouts against 68 walks in 213 career relief appearances -- all with the Padres.

 

Thatcher, a 30-year-old lefty reliever, appeared in just 18 games for the Padres last year after undergoing shoulder surgery in May. He has posted a 4-6 record with a 3.36 ERA in 182 career relief appearances over parts of five seasons with the Padres.

 

Venable, 29, hit .246 with nine home runs and 44 RBI in 121 games with the Padres last season -- his fourth with the club.
