The White Sox have agreed to terms on one-year contracts with closer Bobby Jenks ($7.5 million) and outfielder Carlos Quentin ($3.2 million), avoiding arbitration with both players.
Jenks, 28, went 3-4 with a 3.71 ERA (22 ER/53.1 IP) and 29 saves. He fell one save shy of his fourth consecutive 30-save season.
Jenks ranks third in Sox history with 146 saves.
Quentin, 27, hit .236 (83-351) with 21 home runs and 56 RBI in 99 games last season. He was on the DL from May 29-July 19 with plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
In 2008, Quentin batted .288 with 36 HRs and 100 RBI and was named to the AL All-Star Team and received his first Silver Slugger Award.
Left-handed pitcher John Danks and right-hander Tony Pena are the White Sox remaining arbitration-eligible players.
