Snyder Avoids Arb, Signs For $835,000

Kyle Synder avoided salary arbitration, agreeing to a one-year, non-guaranteed contract for $835,000.

According to the Globe, Synder "will get an additional $5,000 if he makes 50 appearances and $10,000 more for 60 games". Synder, 30, made 46 apparances last season (54.1 innings) and had a 3.81 ERA.
