Jose Abreu has opted out of his contract and is now arbitration-eligible. Abreu remains under control of the Chicago White Sox through 2019.

Abreu, 29, agreed to a six-year, $68 million deal prior to the 2014 season and had three years at $34 million left on the deal.

Once he was arbitration-eligible, Abreu had the choice of opting out of the guaranteed salaries and going year by year. Abreu was set to earn $10.5 million in 2017, $11.5 million in '18 and $12 million in '19.
