"The White Sox cut their arbitration cases in half Saturday when they secured one-year contracts with Bobby Jenks for $7.5 million and outfielder Carlos Quentin for $3.2 million.

Pitchers John Danks and Tony Pena are the only two Sox remaining for arbitration, where players not eligible for free agency have an impartial judge determine their salary.

Jenks was the key because the Sox had hinted they might trade him this winter due to his potential salary, which figured to be about $8 million. Jenks, 28, fell one save shy of a fourth consecutive 30-save season. He already ranks third in Sox history with 146 saves."
