GoGoSox2k2 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Jose Abreu - 1B - White Sox Troy Renck of the Denver Post reports that the Rockies made a six-year, $63 million offer to Jose Abreu. That fell just short of the winning White Sox bid, which was six years, $68 million -- the highest contract ever for an international free agent. Abreu, 26, is likely to take over as Chicago's starting first baseman in 2014. Related: RockiesSource: Denver Post Oct 28 - 10:25 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probably being fed that information by the Rockies so that he could leak it in hopes that the Sox would decrease their offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the analysis, and looking at the gifs, I'd say Abreu has a great swing. I'm thinking (and hoping) that in a year or so, many are going to look back and realize that Abreu at an average of $11 million a year is a bargain.
