Yankees' Jameson Taillon: Avoids arbitration with Yankees

Taillon signed a one-year, $5.8 million contract with the Yankees on Tuesday to avoid arbitration, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Taillon returned to the mound in 2021 after missing a year for his second Tommy John surgery, and he had a solid campaign with a 4.30 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 140:44 K:BB across 144 innings (29 starts). He's in his final year of arbitration eligibility and is set to be a free agent at the end of the season.
