The New York Yankees and Aaron Judge have agreed to a one-year, $19 million contract, according to sources.

The agreement avoided an arbitration hearing scheduled for Friday.

Judge can make an additional $250,000 for MVP and $250,000 for World Series MVP as part of the deal.

Before Opening Day, Judge declined a $213.5 million contract offer from the Yankees that would have locked him up for several years. As things currently stand, Judge will become a free agent after this season.

The Seattle Mariners have agreed to a two-year deal with Jesse Winker, avoiding arbitration.

The contract runs through the 2023 season. He will then become an unrestricted free agent.

Winker's deal is worth $14.5 million -- $6.25 million this season and $8.25 million in 2023, according to multiple reports.

"I don't want to say I was really thinking about it a lot. But I think no matter what you kind of are, somewhere in your mind," he said. "But it's nice to not have to think about any more. I really enjoy it here and this is this is where I want to be. So I'm excited about that."

Catcher Gary Sanchez and the Minnesota Twins agreed Thursday to a $9 million, one-year contract, avoiding an arbitration hearing that had been scheduled for next week.

The agreement was at the midpoint of the $9.5 million Sanchez had asked for and the $8.5 million offered by the Twins when proposed salaries were exchanged on March 22. A hearing had been scheduled for Tuesday.

Dansby Swanson defeated the Atlanta Braves in salary arbitration on Wednesday.

Swanson was awarded $10 million rather than the team's $9.2 million offer by Jeanne Charles, Richard McNeill and Scott Buchheit, who heard arguments.

The Braves won Adam Duvall's case. He was given the Braves' $9,275,000 offer rather than his $10,275,000 request by Gary Kendellen, Keith Greenberg and Gil Vernon.

The Houston Astros have finalized Yordan Alvarez's new six-year, $115 million contract.

"A cornerstone player," general manager James Click said of the outfielder. "It allows us to build the roster around him, build a lineup around him. And that sort of security, both for him and for us as we continue to try to compete for World Series championships is huge, knowing that we're going to have a player of that caliber anchoring our lineup for the foreseeable future."

The contract covers 2023 through 2028. The 24-year-old has a one-year deal for 2022 calling for $764,600 while in the major leagues and $304,500 should he be assigned to the minors.

"There's a lot of hard work that's gone into it and seeing the fruits of the labor really means a lot," Alvarez said in Spanish through an interpreter.

Slugger Yordan Álvarez and the Houston Astros agreed to a six-year, $115 million contract extension, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan. The deal will begin next season and buys out three of Álvarez's free-agent years, sources said.
