Salas and the Angels avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.37 million deal Friday, Los Angeles Times writer Dylan Hernandez reports.

Analysis:

Brought over from St. Louis as part of the David Freese trade from last year, Salas had a fine season in the Angels' bullpen, allowing 50 hits while posting 61 strikeouts and a 3.38 ERA in just under 59 innings. He should again establish a presence in the middle innings for the Angels in 2015.
