Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown announced Friday that the team has released first baseman José Abreu.
In 35 games this season, the 37-year-old Abreu hit just .124 (.361 OPS) with two home runs and seven RBI.
Per Jon Morosi of MLB Network, the Astros still owe Abreu around $30 million on his three-year, $58.5 million deal.
Abreu has played 11 big league seasons. He spent his first nine with the Chicago White Sox and his last two for the Astros. Abreu is a three-time All-Star and three-time Silver Slugger who also took home 2020 American League MVP honors.
