Mariners and RHP Josh Kinney avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract.
Terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed. The 33-year-old right-hander performed admirably in 2012, posting a 3.94 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 36/15 K/BB ratio over 32 innings of work. He'll likely serve in a middle relief role in the Mariners bullpen.
