Yea arbitration, he opted into it. Really more of a settlement.

I don't know with 100% certainty, but I don't think the MLB has restrictions on how quickly a newly-inked player can be traded like the NBA does, especially because Abreu is, technically, still under team control and not an unrestricted free agent. So he could still have this deal traded, and soon.

They can trade him today. He's a bargain at $10M.

Another reason why they may not flip Abreu is that there are a ton of free agent first baseman still out there who it looks like are going to have to play on bargain contracts:

Free Agents Still Available
POSITION PLAYER
1B Edwin Encarnacion **
1B Mike Napoli
1B Chris Carter
1B Logan Morrison
1B Adam Lind
1B Brandon Moss
1B Justin Morneau
1B Mark Reynolds
1B James Loney


Full list is here, and it looks like it's the end of the road for both Gordon Beckham and Ryan Howard. Wow was that Howard contract terrible:
