Sources: Jake Odorizzi, Jose Abreu accept $17.8M qualifying offers for 2020

Minnesota Twins pitcher Jake Odorizzi and Chicago White Sox slugger Jose Abreu are accepting their one-year, $17.8 million qualifying offers for 2020 and will forgo free agency, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Thursday.

Barring contract extensions, both will be free agents without restriction after the 2020 season.

The seven players who will reject qualifying offers, sources told Passan, and have draft-pick and perhaps international-bonus compensation tied to their free agency are Gerrit Cole, Anthony Rendon, Stephen Strasburg, Zack Wheeler, Madison Bumgarner, Josh Donaldson and Marcell Ozuna.
