Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 1m Astros also are out on Abreu. Other reports indicate Red Sox out. One source suggested there could be last-right-of-refusal mystery team.

Where's kona when you need him?

The Lone Ranger

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 18, 2013 -> 02:48 AM) Worst thing about this is that we likely won't have any solid confirmation until after the World Series. +1

QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Oct 18, 2013 -> 01:44 AM) Jon Heyman seconds that Texas is in. To be fair, he's just quoting Knobler and the Rangers blogger

According to sources, Abreu is determined to play with the player who hustles the most. Thus, he'll be signing with the Rangers in order to play with his hero, Alex Rios.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Oct 18, 2013 -> 01:34 AM) Can someone please tell me... what the hell is going on??? 20 minutes ago, the Sox had Abreu 10 minutes ago, the Rangers had Abreu 2 minutes ago, the Sox had Abreu

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 18, 2013 -> 01:32 AM) The time stamp says 4:51 pm. Even central time that's well before Rosenthals latest stuff. From that article: Some people involved believed Thursday that the White Sox were front-runners, but MLB.com reported Thursday night that the Rangers have strong interest, and a source confirmed their involvement.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 18, 2013 -> 01:29 AM) That post was hours ago Not sure why time wasn't updated, as it's referencing a report from "Thurs night"

FWIW, Abreu and Leonys Martin of the Rangers have the same agent

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Oct 18, 2013 -> 12:46 AM) Kolek hype. It seems hard to believe the Sox would ever draft a high school pitcher that high.

It's also great that the Sox won't have to give up a draft pick to sign him.

All I see is Rosenthal saying it's expected to be the White Sox for 6/68

If the White Sox were to get him for something like 6/70, I'd love it. It's a lot of money but nothing crippling if he's a bust.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 09:10 PM) Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 2m The Astros did, in fact, make a hard bid on Abreu while falling short: Heard their bid was between $50 million and $60 million. Seems like a decision could be announced over the next few days.

We've seen this Peavy before against the Tigers in a big game

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 05:50 PM) Josh Beckett SOS Can we induct him into the White Sox Hall of Fame?

If this season of Homeland keeps up, they're going to have a top 3 draft pick next year. It's been just awful!

QUOTE (zenryan @ Oct 13, 2013 -> 02:24 AM) fathom----are GT fans still behind Paul Johnson? Hell no, but his contract stipulations are significant (and they're still paying off Hewitt's deal for a few more years).

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 11, 2013 -> 07:10 PM) So we're basically just going to stay put? You might as well trade Sale then

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 10, 2013 -> 07:10 PM) Just not to the Cubs please. +1

Giants, 5/62
