The White Sox have dealt away Chris Sale, Jose Quintana, Todd Frazier and a number of relievers since starting the rebuild in an effort to acquire as much young talent as possible. Meanwhile, Jose Abreu has stayed on the South Side.
Abreu is a free agent at the end of the season so rumors and speculation are commonplace around the Cuban first baseman. Would the White Sox try to cash in before the trade deadline this season? If they were going to do so, they probably would have done so earlier in the rebuild.
In an interview on MLB Network, general manager Rick Hahn said what he and the rest of White Sox brass have been saying about Abreu for a while now.
