The Orioles avoided arbitration with Matusz, agreeing Friday to a $3.2 million salary for the 2015 season, MASN Sports reports.

Analysis:

Matusz now has one year of arbitration remaining. Matusz had an up-and-down season in 2014, but he matched his 2013 numbers almost perfectly, with a 3.48 ERA in 63 games. The Orioles lost confidence with him and traded for Andrew Miller down the stretch. Matusz has been involved in trade rumors as the Orioles have a number of left-handed relievers stockpiled heading into spring training.
