NEW YORK (AP) — Right-hander Trevor Bauer, third baseman Nolan Arenado, outfielder Charlie Blackmon and infielder-outfielder Jurickson Profar declined to opt out of their contracts to become free agents. Bauer agreed to a $102 million, three-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers in February and began 8-5 with a 2.59 ERA in 17 starts. He has been on paid leave since July 2 while he is investigated under Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy. All-Star reliever Craig Kimbrel’s $16 million option was exercised by the Chicago White Sox, making his deal worth $48 million over three seasons. He was 4-5 with a 2.26 ERA and 24 saves in 29 chances for the Chicago Cubs and White Sox.
