Diamondbacks agree to terms with OF Dyson

The Arizona Diamondbacks agreed to terms with outfielder Jarrod Dyson on Monday, shortly after losing out in the J.D. Martinez sweepstakes.

Dyson reportedly will receive a two-year, $7.5 million deal, much smaller than the reported five-year, $110-million deal Martinez received from the Boston Red Sox. Martinez finished the 2017 season with the Diamondbacks.

Dyson, 33, is known for his speed and defense. He recorded 28 steals while batting .251 for the Seattle Mariners last season.

Dyson underwent surgery to repair a core-muscle issue and a sports hernia in September.

Last season was Dyson's only season in Seattle. He spent his first seven years with the Kansas City Royals and was part of that franchise's World Series teams in 2014 and 2015.

Dyson has stolen more than 25 bases in each of the past six seasons and has 204 in his career. He has a lifetime average of .258 with 12 homers and 131 RBIs.
