Cuban slugger Jose Dariel Abreu has narrowed his list of possible destinations to the Astros, Red Sox, and White Sox, multiple industry sources tell Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com. The standout first baseman could sign within the next two weeks.

The Rangers, Giants, and Marlins were also showing strong interest in Abreu along the way but are no longer in the running.



Cuban first baseman Jose Dariel Abreu is "finalizing" a six-year, $68MM contract, likely with the White Sox, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal tweets. Abreu is represented by Praver Shapiro Sports Management. The deal would be the largest contract ever for an international free agent. It would easily surpass the six-year, $42MM deal Yasiel Puig received from the Dodgers last June.


So disappointing. Not only does it appear we passed up on talent that would have cost us the one asset we have in abundance, but we've got to watch him God knows how many times a year play for our rival.

TR is a joke. This org. is a joke. And the joke is on us.

6 years at less than 12 mill/year. Steal for a slugging first-baseman.

So pursuing a has-been MVP is more logical. At least he's a good guy.

They need the bodies. Upper depth is horrible. Can't deal the priceless prospects for improvment.
Throw a lot of junk at a wall,and something will stick.

I had 4 hats I wore out as a kid:

Tigers (Olde English "D")
Astros (orange star and H)
Twins (M hat)

Definitely top five, no doubt.

The first hat I remember regularly wearing, of all things, was a Copenhagen hat that my parents gave me.

Twins drafted HS 1b slugger Henry Sanchez 6 picks before the Sox selected Buchholz, and 3 picks before the Sox took Jed Lowrie.

Sanchez I don't think made it past A ball.

Another Twin's scouting and drafting fiasco.

Sanchez never got past the MW League.


I wonder if the Cards will get all bent in the Series when some Sox player(s) celebrate HRs like Victorino did.

No interest in Cardinals or Red Sox winning another series.

Cardinals just won one in 2011 and outside of the Yankees have won more WS titles than any other team.
Red Sox are almost at Yankee level for hate of teams for me.

I was really hoping for As/Pirates and then Dodgers/Tigers.

I don't. “@MightyMpls: Det, Was, Cin all available jobs. I bet Gardy's feeling like an ass for renewing with the Twiners.”

OF course he doesn't. Gardy has the most secure job in MLB. Low expectations.

And the results are rarely, if ever, his fault.

He doesn't have to win.  The team can look like the bad news bears before Buttermaker tried to get sober. 

Lose 291 games in three years and your whole staff is retained. 

He gets paid millions to be an utter failure.  Why would he leave?  It's the best job in sports.

Good manager and class guy.
He had the best team in baseball this year, but didn't finish the way he would've liked. Fielder was a no show and Cabrera was injured.
