They’ve agreed to one-year contracts with four players, including starting pitcher Matthew Boyd ($5.3 million), reliever Buck Farmer ($1.15 million), center fielder JaCoby Jones ($1.57 million) and starting pitcher Daniel Norris ($2.96 million).

For Boyd, his new salary will be nearly double what it was last season ($2.6 million).

Norris earned $1.275 million in 2019, and has one more year of arbitration eligibility before he can become a free-agent in 2021.
