Diamondbacks' David Peralta: Reaches agreement with Arizona

Peralta signed a one-year, $7 million deal contract with the Diamondbacks on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Peralta more than doubled his home-run total between the 2017 and 2018 campaigns, slugging 30 homers (14 in 2017) and driving in a career-best 87 RBI while still hitting .293 over 146 ballgames. Peralta is in line to once again begin the year as the starting left fielder, barring injury.
