The White Sox avoided arbitration with a pair of players, including one of their big offseason acquisitions, the team announced Thursday.
The White Sox agreed to one-year deals with infielder Brett Lawrie, who was acquired in a winter trade with the Oakland A's, and relief pitcher Dan Jennings.
Lawrie will make $4.125 million in 2016, and Jennings will make $810,000.

Lawrie is expected to be the team's everyday second baseman this season. Last season in Oakland, Lawrie posted a .260/.299/.407 slash line with 16 home runs and 60 RBIs.
Jennings pitched 56 1/3 innings out of the bullpen for the South Siders last season after three seasons with the Miami Marlins. Jennings posted a 3.99 ERA with 46 strikeouts compared to 24 walks.
The White Sox have two remaining arbitration-eligible players.
