Toronto has avoided arbitration with Brett Cecil, signing the left-hander to a one-year, $2.475 million deal.

After struggling as a starter Cecil shifted to the bullpen full time in 2013 and made the All-Star team. He posted nearly identical numbers in 2014--without the All-Star appearance--and the 28-year-old has a 3.01 ERA with 155 strikeouts in 126 innings out of the bullpen for his career.
