OF Travis Snider was acquired by the Orioles in a Jan. 27 trade that
sent LHP Stephen Tarpley and a played to be named to the Pirates.

26, hit .264/.338/.438 with 13 homers and 38 RBIs in 140 games last
season for Pittsburgh. The Pirates were willing to let him go

MLB Note - Kansas City Royals Dyson, Jarrod
OF Jarrod Dyson and the Royals avoided arbitration, reaching
agreement Jan. 27 on a one-year, $1,225,000 contract. Additional
incentives include $25,000 for 350 plate appearances and $50,000 for
making the All-Star game. The 30-year-old Dyson, projected as the
Royals' fourth outfielder in 2015, is getting a healthy pay boost
from $530,000 last season. He requested $1.6 million in arbitration
for this season and the Royals offered $900,000. In 290 plate
appearances last year for the American League champions, Dyson
batted .269/.324/.327 with one home run, 24 RBIs and 36 stolen
bases.
