A person with knowledge of the contract has told The Associated Press that the Angels have reached a $3.2 million deal for the upcoming season with right-hander Garrett Richards.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Saturday because the announcement hadn't been made.

The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to terms on a one-year, $3 million deal with Neal Cotts.

The Atlanta Braves have signed Cuban outfielder Dian Toscano to a four-year, $6 million contract.

Jarrod Dyson has avoided arbitration with the Kansas City Royals by agreeing to a one-year, $1.225 million contract for 2015.

Dyson is expected to be Kansas City's fourth outfielder. He can also make $25,000 for reaching 350 plate appearances and $50,000 if he's chosen for the All-Star Game, according to a report.

He earned $530,000 last season, $30,000 over the major league minimum.

The Baltimore Orioles have avoided arbitration with Bud Norris, agreeing to a one-year, $8.8 million deal.

Norris would get a $25,000 bonus for 180 innings and $50,000 more for 200 under Monday's agreement.

He also would earn $50,000 each for making the All-Star Game or winning a Gold Glove.

Norris, who turns 30 on March 2, was 15-8 with a 3.65 ERA in 28 starts last season, when he made $5.3 million.
