Just a day after shocking all of baseball — and from the looks of it, the White Sox fan base — with an aggressive move to get Yasmani Grandal signed for four years, the club ensured fellow countryman and de facto captain José Abreu would be around for the bulk of that contract.
Abreu, mere days after accepting a one-year, $17.8 million qualifying offer from the White Sox, tore that up and inked a three-year, $50 deal to stay in Chicago through the 2022 season.
Abreu gets a $5 million signing bonus, $11 million in 2020, $16 million in 2021 and $18 million in 2022.
