Jose Abreu hits the open market as a free agent for the first time since he was signed by the Chicago White Sox prior to the 2014 season.
Abreu is coming off one of the best seasons of his career for the Chicago White Sox, hitting .284/.330/.503 with 33 home runs and an American League-leading 123 RBI. That gave him a 117 wRC+ and 1.9 fWAR.
However, for a hitter of that caliber, a 1.9 fWAR is actually pretty low and that is due to the fact that defense is not a specialty for him as he registered -4 DRS and a -1.
