Dodgers' Josh Fields: Avoids arbitration with Dodgers

Fields and the Dodgers avoided arbitration Friday with a one-year, $1.05 million deal, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Fields' career has been a case study in underperforming his peripherals, as his career 2.99 FIP is more than a run under his 4.34 ERA. He'll return to the Dodgers in a middle relief role in 2017.
