On Thursday the White Sox agreed to one-year contracts and avoided arbitration with the following seven players:
RHP Dylan Cease — $8 million
LHP Garrett Crochet — $800,000
RHP Michael Kopech — $3 million
INF Nicky Lopez — $4.3 million
RHP Michael Soroka — $3 million
RHP Touki Toussaint — $1.3 million
INF Andrew Vaughn — $3.25 million
That represents the full arb-eligible class remaining for the White Sox, so there will be none of that contentious negotiation awkwardness this spring.
Some early estimates had Cease signing for around $8.3 million, so I suppose the club got a smidge of a discount on Dylan.
