"The Athletics agreed to terms on one-year contracts with right-handers Brandon McCarthy and Joey Devine on Tuesday, and with that they settled with all their arbitration-eligible players before sides were scheduled to exchange figures.

McCarthy's 2012 contract will be for $4.275 million, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The 28-year-old, who's eligible for free agency after the '12 season, is coming off a career year in '11, one in which he went 9-9 with a 3.32 ERA and a 4.92 strikeout-to-walk ratio -- an A's club record -- in 25 starts."
