Wieters agreed to a one-year, $8.3 million contract with the Orioles on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports. Because Wieters was limited to just 26 games last season due to an elbow injury that ultimately required Tommy John surgery, he will receive a relatively modest bump in salary (from $7.7 million) in his third year of arbitration. The 28-year-old just threw from 120 feet Monday for the first time since his procedure.
