BOSTON (AP) — Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and the Boston Red Sox have reached agreement on a one-year contract.

The Red Sox announced the deal Sunday and avoided salary arbitration.

The 26-year-old Saltalamacchia set career highs with 16 home runs and 56 RBIs last season. He hit .235.

Saltalamacchia threw out 28 potential basestealers, the most by a Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek’s 29 in 2002.
