The White Sox are declining Liam Hendriks’ $15 option for next season and will pay their cancer-surviving closer a $15 million buyout spread over the next 10 years, the club announced Friday.
The Sox also said starting pitcher Mike Clevinger declined his $12-million mutual option that includes $4-million buyout, and they outrighted outfielders Clint Frazier and Trayce Thompson to Triple-A Charlotte, bringing the 40-man roster to 36.
