The Diamondbacks and free agent right-hander Jon Garland have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with an option for 2010, according to major league sources.
It appears the contract is similar to one of the proposals the sides discussed two weeks ago, in which the deal would include an option that could be exercised by either the player or team. The value of the buyout would change depending on which side declines the option.
The specifics of the deal are not known, but Garland's guaranteed money is believed to be in the $6 million to $8 million range.
The deal is pending a physical.
