Abreu was the 4th best projected hitter available in free agency (behind Judge, Nimmo, and Correa). Nimmo, Brantley, Conforto, Benintendi, Gallo, Profar, and Bellinger are the lefty OF bats that make the most sense for Houston’s next move. Adam Frazier and Robbie Grossman are lesser dark horse options.
Yep, like the player. I think the contract should be manageable (old 1B shouldn't have too big a market), but I've been been wrong before.
my exact perfect offseason. and perfectly fine with chaz/leon in the 8-hole every day with the rest of that lineup.
Abreu was always the no brainer even for a slight over pay. 1st base check Great hitter check Doesn't strike out check Underperformed his numbers (unlucky) check Contract that doesn't go past 2025 check Cuban connection check
Awesome. I still love Yuli so I hope I don't have to see him in another uniform. Now the Astros can look at potential DH/OF bats. And even with all that there's still a chance Verlander stays too. Whether or not you think he's worth the money at his age.
