Chicago White Sox avoid arbitration with 7 players - including pitcher Dylan Cease - by agreeing to 1-year deals

During a video conference with reporters this week, general manager Chris Getz said the Sox have had conversations involving Cease, 'but I also know that we're not going to move a player like Dylan or anyone else unless we feel like we're going to benefit,' he said. 'So it's got to be right for all parties.'

The Sox also avoided arbitration with infielder Nicky Lopez ($4.3 million), first baseman Andrew Vaughn ($3.25 million) and pitchers Michael Kopech ($3 million), Michael Soroka ($3 million), Touki Toussaint ($1.3 million) and Garrett Crochet ($800,000). The Sox also announced they have named Jin Wong assistant general manager.
