Brendan Ryan signs with M's
Brendan Ryan - SS - Seattle Mariners
Jan. 18, 2013 - 3:10 PM ET

Mariners avoided arbitration with SS Brendan Ryan by agreeing to a one-year, $3.25 million contract.

Ryan, who was arbitration-eligible for the final time, is a defensive wizard but is coming off a year where he batted just .194/.277/.278. He'll be the starting shortstop on Opening Day, but the M's could eventually seek a replacement.
