| Jose Abreu |
Abreu accepted the one-year, $17.8 million qualifying offer from the team Thursday. The veteran can become a free agent without restriction after next season, but the possibility still exists that he could sign a multiyear deal -- perhaps a three-year contract -- that would keep him in Chicago beyond 2020.
Abreu, who will be 33 on Opening Day next season, batted .284/.330/.503 with a 33 home runs and an American League-leading 123 RBIs in 2019. He has topped 100 RBIs in five of his six seasons with the Sox.
In other news around the league, Minnesota right-hander Jake Odorizzi also accepted the one-year, $17.8 million qualifying offer to remain with the Twins.
So, if you were looking for the Sox to potentially sign Odorizzi to fill a hole in the starting rotation, cross him off your list.
