Reaches deal with M's Torrens and the Mariners agreed Tuesday on a one-year deal to avoid arbitration.

Impact Seattle reached deals with both of the arbitration-eligible catchers on the 40-man roster, as Tom Murphy came to terms on a one-year, $1.575 million contract. Though Torrens is catcher-eligible in most fantasy leagues, his limitations as a defender mean that the Mariners are more likely to lean on Murphy and Cal Raleigh for work behind the plate. As a result, Torrens projects to see most of his work as a designated hitter or first baseman, though he likely won't enter the season with an everyday role at either spot.
