The Dodgers avoided arbitration with catcher Russell Martin and closer Jonathan Broxton, signing them to one-year contracts.

Martin, a two-time All-Star at 25, will be paid $3.9 million. He earned $500,000 last season.

Broxton’s deal is worth $1.825 million and includes incentive clauses. Broxton, who is expected to become the Dodgers’ full-time closer this season, made $454,000 last year.
