Good morning, Camden Chatters.
So far, the MLB offseason has crawled along at a snail’s pace. But with the winter meetings a week away, the action may be starting to pick up. Yesterday brought the most prominent free agent yet to switch teams, with former AL MVP José Abreu leaving the White Sox, the only team he’s played for in nine MLB seasons, to sign with the world champion Astros. Abreu will be 36 by Opening Day but still seems to have plenty of gas in the tank, and he’s a nice upgrade at first base/DH for a Houston team looking to repeat its title.
