Infielder Kelly Johnson and the Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to a $5.85 million, one-year contract that avoided salary arbitration. Johnson hit .284 last season with 26 homers, 71 RBIs and 36 doubles, and made $2.35 million. When players and teams exchanged proposed arbitration figures last month, he had asked for $6.5 million and had been offered $4.7 million.
