CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox have agreed to one-year contracts with outfielder Avisail Garcia and reliever Zach Putnam, avoiding arbitration.

Garcia is due $2.1 million and Putnam $975,000 next season. The agreements on Friday leave the White Sox with no remaining arbitration-eligible players.

The 24-year-old Garcia batted .257 with 13 home runs, 59 RBIs and 66 runs last season.

Putnam, 28, went 3-3 with a 4.07 ERA in 49 appearances.
