    Catcher Mike Napoli and the Texas Rangers have agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth $9.4 million, according to sources. The agreement allows both sides to avoid a hearing, which was scheduled for Wednesday.

    Napoli's deal means Texas will continue its streak of not going to any arbitration hearings since 2000 (Lee Stevens). The Rangers also completed deals this week with slugging outfielder Nelson Cruz and shortstop Elvis Andrus to avoid hearings. Cruz and Andrus got multiyear deals that took them through their last arbitration-eligible seasons, Cruz through 2013 and Andrus through 2014.
