TORONTO - The Toronto Blue Jays agreed to one-year deals with infielder Jose Bautista and relievers Jason Frasor and Jeremy Accardo on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration with all three.
Bautista, 28, gets US$2.4 million after combining for 15 home runs and 54 RBIs in 128 games for Pittsburgh and Toronto last year.
Frasor, 31, will make $1.45 million after posting a 1-2 record with a 4.18 ERA in 49 relief appearances last season.
Accardo, 27, agreed to a $900,000 deal with incentives. He appeared in 16 games in 2008 before a forearm injury sidelined him for most of the season.
The team also exchanged salary figures with relievers Shawn Camp and Brian Tallet, its two remaining players eligible for arbitration.
Tallet, who made $640,000 last year, is seeking $1.3 million while the team is offering $950,000.
Camp, who made $405,000 in 2008, is looking for $950,000 while the Blue Jays offered $700,000.
The Blue Jays haven't gone to an arbitration hearing under general manager J.P. Ricciardi. Their last case to be heard was against Bill Risley in 1997.
