O's, LHP Sherrill agree to 1-year deal (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Reliever George Sherrill and the Baltimore Orioles agreed Saturday to terms on a one-year contract, avoiding arbitration. Sherrill made the AL All-Star team in 2008 during a season in which he went 3-5 with a 4.73 ERA and 31 saves. Obtained in February 2008 in a trade with the Seattle Mariners, the left-hander earned the closing job in spring training.
