Abreu now a mentor to young White Sox roster

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Jose Abreu begins his fourth season in the majors in a much different situation than when he first joined the Chicago White Sox.

When Abreu arrived in the U.S. from Cuba in 2014, the White Sox were a veteran team with players like Paul Konerko, Adam Dunn, John Danks and Alexei Ramirez. Now Chicago is rebuilding, and Abreu finds himself as one of the team's veterans and leaders.

Only pitchers Jose Quintana, Nate Jones and Jake Petricka, and outfielder Avisail Garcia are still with the White Sox from that 2014 roster.
