TORONTO -- In a return to his past home of two seasons, Melky Cabrera said Monday negotiations never got close with the Toronto Blue Jays last offseason.
The White Sox are hopeful that playing in the Rogers Centre gets Cabrera back to hitting like the guy they signed for three years and $42 million this offseason.
One of many slumping bats in the lineup, Cabrera entered Monday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays with a .239/.287/.270 slash line with one home run and 15 RBIs this season. Both Cabrera and the White Sox have to believe his luck is due to change -- he’s hitting 56 points below his career mark on balls in play.
