Mike Adams and the Rangers avoided arbitration after the right-handed reliever agreed to a one-year, $4.4 million contract, leaving the Rangers with four arbitration players to be signed.

After arriving in Texas from San Diego, Adams was 2-3 with a 2.10 ERA in 27 appearances (25 2/3 innings) with 25 strikeouts and five walks. In the postseason, he gave up three runs in 8 1/3 innings (3.24 ERA) with six walks and six strikeouts.

Mark Lowe and David Murphy came to terms earlier Monday. Mike Napoli, Matt Harrison, Nelson Cruz and Elvis Andrus remain to be signed.
