Either that or his current vs future is minimally different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanne Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 12, 2013 -> 01:49 PM) Bowden has an ESPN Inside article on him. Among the highlights: And he calls the Marlins the favorites to sign him based on people he has talked to. In order: Marlins, Red Sox, Rangers, Mariners, A's, Nationals and Rockies. Take it for what it's worth. Like has been mentioned with Cespedes, Athletics came out of nowhere to sign him. Oh horses***! He's just pulling speculation out of his ass. Boston because of deep pockets I take it...didn't realize Massachusetts was such a desirable landing spot for Cubans!?!? And of course people will throw Miami out here due to it's proximity to Cuba...other than that...why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishPrince34 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 After reading the reports on Abreu I'm definitely all in on going after him. He's hitting his prime years. Power hitter that walks and gets on base I'm sold. The only negative I see on him is his body. Hopefully he doesn't go to crazy on the Fast Food in America. He definitely needs to get in better shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this link on the first page: Abreu will have to establish residency in another country, have Major League Baseball declare him a free agent and the U.S. government’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) clear him to sign, but interest in Abreu should be fierce and should have a major impact on this offseason’s free agent market.

HeGone7 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Highly doubt the A's are in on him. You'll have to take my word for it, but Billy Beane has a daughter who lives in Chicago and dates a friend. Billy isn't very fond of Cespedes, so I can't imagine another high-priced, free swinging, Cuban is on his way to Oakland. Take it for what it's worth, but I am not so sure the A's will be rushing to the front of the line to pay big bucks for this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darvish was throwing a perfect game when he walked somebody. AJ was pissed about the 2-2 called and turned around squawking after the walk.

If he gets the process started rapidly he could definitely be out there in the free agent period this year, if everything goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
