Milwaukee
Brewers

News: Marcum has avoided arbitration and signed a one-year deal with the Brewers, the team's official Twitter feed reports.
Impact: It's still possible that Marcum will work out a long-term deal with the Brewers, but he'll reprise his role as the No. 3 starter this season and assuming full health, he should resemble the effective pitcher he was before fatigue seemed to catch up with him down the stretch in the regular season and in the playoffs.

News: Marcum and the Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to a one-year contract worth $7,725,000, just ahead of the scheduled start of their salary arbitration hearing. Friday's deal was at the midpoint between the $8.7 million and $6.75 million figures filed by the sides when they exchanged proposed arbitration salaries last month.
Impact: Marcum made $4.05 million last year, when he went 13-7 with a 3.54 ERA. He is eligible for free agency after this season.
