Jeremy Hellickson and Neil Walker accepted qualifying offers.

 

Jose Abreu opts into arbitration for his final 3 years of club control (rather than take the 3/$34M remaining on his deal).  I imagine he'll get a healthy raise over the $10.5M he would made this year.  In fact it's basically guaranteed as his salary basis for his arbitration raise will be the $10M he made in 2016 plus 1/6th (or perhaps even 1/3 if his agent wins that argument) of his $10M signing bonus he got back when he signed the deal.
