Pitcher John Maine and the New York Mets avoided salary arbitration, agreeing Friday on a $2.6 million, one-year contract. The figure was the midpoint of the $3 million Maine sought and the $2.2 million the Mets offered. The right-hander can earn an additional $25,000 if he pitches 200 or more innings.
