The Astros and SS Jed Lowrie avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract.

The deal carries a $1.15 million base salary. Lowrie requested $1.5 million and was offered $900,000 when arbitration figures were exchanged in January. It took around a month for the two sides to find a middle ground.
