CHICAGO -- The White Sox declined their option on Tim Anderson's contract Saturday, making the shortstop a free agent.

Anderson will receive a $1 million buyout after the White Sox decided not to keep him around for 2024 at a $14 million salary.

Also Saturday, Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman opted out of his contract, a source told ESPN, confirming an MLB Network report. And the Reds declined to pick up first baseman Joey Votto's $20 million club option and gave the Cincinnati legend a $7 million buyout instead.
