The latest rumor involves an Astros and White Sox deal that includes the All-Star first-baseman, Jose Abreu.
This rumor was shared by Nick Cafardo with the Boston Globe. The rumor was presented practically as a footnote near the end of his piece about the Red Sox and the future of their young hot-shot players. He then focused briefly on teams in contention and what they can do to improve.
Cafardo wrote about the Astros and Abreu:
“There’s been a strong flirtation by the Astros with Abreu. While they’re monitoring the bullpen market, they could easily switch gears and pull this off.
