A's avoid arbitration with John Jaso
John Jaso - C - Oakland Athletics
Jan. 17, 2013 - 8:35 PM ET

Athletics and C John Jaso avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.8 million contract.

Jaso was acquired earlier this week from the Mariners as part of a five-player, three-team swap headlined by Michael Morse. The 29-year-old catcher posted a cool .276/.394/.456 batting line in 2012 with Seattle.
