New York — Third basemen Josh Donaldson and Kris Bryant set records Friday when they were among 145 players who agreed to one-year contracts rather than swap proposed salaries in arbitration with their teams.

Donaldson and Toronto agreed at $23 million, the largest one-year deal for an arbitration-eligible player. The 32-year-old, a three-time All-Star, topped the $21,625,000, one-year deal covering 2018 agreed to last May by outfielder Bryce Harper and Washington.

Donaldson, the 2015 AL MVP, got a $6 million raise after rebounding from an injury-slowed 2016 to hit .270 last season with 33 homers and 78 RBIs in 113 games. The sure-handed infielder missed time from April 14 through May 25 with a calf injury, which also hampered him during spring training.

Bryant settled with the Chicago Cubs at $10.85 million, the most for a player eligible for arbitration for the first time. The previous mark was held by Philadelphia first baseman Ryan Howard, who was awarded $10 million by a three-person panel in 2008.

Bryant hit .295 with 29 home runs and 73 RBIs last year, when he made $1.05 million. The previous season, he earned National League MVP honors when he hit .292 with 39 homers and 102 RBIs. The Cubs won the World Series that year for the first time since 1908.

Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado, like Donaldson eligible for free agency after this season, agreed at $16 million. Houston pitcher Dallas Keuchel agreed to a $13.2 million deal.

Just 27 players swapped figures are remain on track for hearings next month.

Red Sox

Shortstop Xander Bogaerts and outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. were among nine Boston players who reached deals on one-year contracts Friday with the AL East champion Red Sox. 

Pitchers Joe Kelly, Drew Pomeranz, Eduardo Rodriguez and Brandon Workman, infielder Brock Holt and catchers Sandy Leon and Christian Vazquez also settled.

The agreements left two-time All-Star outfielder Mookie Betts as the only Boston player in salary arbitration. He asked for $10.5 million and the Red Sox offered $7.5 million as players and teams exchanged figures.

Bogaerts will make $7.05 million, up from $4.5 million last season. The 25-year-old hit .273 with 62 RBIs and 15 steals.

A year after becoming an All-Star, Bogaerts saw his power drop from 21 homers to 10. His second half was the problem: He batted .229 with a .339 slugging percentage from June 23 on.

Bradley will get $6.1 million, an increase from $3.6 million last year, when he hit .245 with 17 homers and 63 RBIs.

Although he remained a defensive star, the 27-year-old Bradley had a falloff from his All-Star season in 2016, when he batted .267 with 26 homers and 87 RBIs. The Red Sox reportedly turned down an offer from the Los Angeles Dodgers this offseason to trade him straight up for Yasiel Puig.

Pomeranz gets $8.5 million, a raise from his $4.45 million last year. The 29-year-old lefty went 17-6 with a 3.32 ERA in his first full season with Boston.

After struggling in Boston in 2016, a season in which he made the NL All-Star roster with San Diego before being traded to the Red Sox, Pomeranz tied Chris Sale for the team lead in wins. But in the AL Division Series against Houston — his first career postseason start — he allowed four runs while lasting just two innings.

Workman, a 29-year-old righty, will make $835,000, up from $635,000. He went 1-1 with a 3.18 ERA in a career-high 33 games.

After missing all of 2015 and '16 with Tommy John surgery, Workman returned in July and had a solid five weeks. On Aug. 20, he had a 1.40 ERA with 20 strikeouts and five walks in 25 2/3 innings. In his last 14 games, though, he struggled to a 6.43 ERA and was left off the postseason roster.

In his first season as a full-time reliever, the right-handed Kelly pitched in 54 games with a 2.79 ERA. He made 23 straight scoreless appearances before giving up a game-winning homer on July 9, then missed a month with a strained left hamstring. He was more inconsistent upon his return, with a 4.98 ERA the rest of the way.

Rodriguez ($2,375,000) demonstrated himself to be a passable fourth or fifth starter. The lefty's 13-12 record and 4.19 ERA was hurt by a span from June-August when he went 0-4 with a 6.05 ERA while also missing six weeks after falling from the bullpen mound and injuring his knee; he had surgery and is expected to miss all of April, at least.

The 27-year-old Vazquez had the best season of his young career, hitting .290 with five homers and 32 RBIs in 99 games. He caught 42 percent of attempted base-stealers but was also second in the AL in passed balls, with 11.

Leon ($1.95 million) played in a career-high 85 games last year, hitting only .225 but with seven homers and 39 RBIs, matching and setting career-highs, respectively. He threw out 37 percent of attempted base-stealers, down slightly from the 41.2 percent the previous year that was third in the AL.

Holt ($2,225,000) played in just 64 games last year, when he suffered from vertigo. He batted a career-low .200, with no homers and seven RBIs.

At 25, Betts dipped from his 2016 success, when he led the league in total bases and was the runner-up in AL MVP voting. In 2017, his average fell to a career-low .264 (from .318) and he had 24 homers with 102 RBIs (down from 31 and 112), good enough for sixth in the MVP race.

Yankees

The Yankees reached one-year contracts with their remaining six players eligible for arbitration, leaving their projected luxury tax payroll at $177 million — $20 million below the threshold.

Shortstop Didi Gregorius agreed at $8.25 million Friday, pitcher Sonny Gray at $6.5 million and setup man Dellin Betances at $5.1 million. Also reaching deals were relievers Adam Warren ($3,315,000) and Chasen Shreve ($825,000), and backup catcher Austin Romine ($1.1 million).

New York's luxury tax payroll rose to $149,927,500 for 15 players with agreements, and the projected total is well under the $197 million tax threshold. The projection includes $10 million for the rest of the 40-man roster, $14,044,600 for benefits and a $3 million charge for cash transactions: a $5.5 million payment to Houston as part of the Brian McCann trade, a $500,000 payment to San Diego as part of the Chase Headley deal and a $3 million credit from Miami as part of the Giancarlo Stanton acquisition.

Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner has vowed to end the team's streak of 15 straight years of paying tax. If New York gets under the threshold, its base tax rate would reset from 50 percent to 20 percent in 2019 — better positioning the Yankees to pursue next offseason's free agents, who could include Bryce Harper, Manny Machado and possibly Clayton Kershaw.

Gregorius established career bests with a .287 batting average, 25 home runs and 87 RBIs, hitting mostly fourth through sixth in the batting order. He made $5.1 million.

Gray was acquired from Oakland for three prospects at the July 31 trade deadline and went 4-7 with a 3.72 ERA in 11 starts for the Yankees. He finished 10-12 with a 3.55 ERA in 27 starts overall and made $3,575,000.

Betances lost to the Yankees in arbitration last winter and was awarded $3 million rather than his request for $5 million. After the decision, Yankees President Randy Levine said "five million dollars goes to elite closers, people who pitch the ninth inning and have a lot, a lot and a lot of saves."

Betances filled in for suspended closer Aroldis Chapman last April and made his fourth straight AL All-Star team but struggled with his mechanics and control late in the season and was relegated to a marginal role during the playoffs. He finished 3-6 with 10 saves a 2.87 ERA in 66 games, throwing 59 2/3 innings, down from 73 in 2016 and 90 in 2014. He walked a career-high 44, an increase of 16.

Warren was 3-2 with a career-best 2.35 ERA in 46 relief appearances, missing 17 games from mid-June to early July because of right shoulder inflammation. Traded to the Cubs in December 2015 for second baseman Starlin Castro, he was reacquired the following July in the deal that sent Chapman to Chicago. Warren had a $2.29 million salary last year.

Shreve was 4-1 with a 3.77 ERA in 44 relief appearances, striking out 58 and walking 25 in 45 1/3 innings. He was eligible for arbitration for the first time after earning $552,425.

Romine hit .218 with two homers and 21 RBIs in 252 plate appearances as the backup catcher to Gary Sanchez. Playing regularly in the first month when Sanchez was sidelined with a biceps injury, Romine batted .316 with two homers and 10 RBIs in 16 games. He made $805,000.

Outfielder Aaron Hicks ($2,825,000) and reliever Tommy Kahnle ($1,312,500) agreed Thursday.

Warren can become a free agent after the season, and Betances, Gray, Hicks, Gregorius and Romine following the 2019 season, Kahnle after the 2020 season and Shreve following the 2021 season.
