Jose Abreu's mom holds a lot of sway.
Back when Rick Renteria gave Abreu one of his two days off this season, he knew he'd have to explain to Abreu's mom why her son wasn't in the lineup. And it sounds like she might have even more power than we think.
Asked if he believed he'd be back in a White Sox uniform next season, the American League RBI champ kind of made it sound like it wasn't up to him.
"Yes sir," he replied, "because Mom is happy."
All kidding aside, it hasn't been at all difficult to figure out what Abreu, slated to hit free agency, wants because he's been telling us all season.
