So he's going to trade for a 1st baseman and a catcher that Dusty won't play?

No point in trading for a catcher, but don’t rain on my 1st basemen parade.

If Abreu can't do anything this weekend against a AAAA team, he needs a fake injury and let Dubon and Diaz play 1B while Abreu goes to the Cuban fountain of youth that keeps their boxers going until 42.

Listen to this man, he’s pre-med.

What are the worst FA contracts ever signed? Abreu could get into the conversation.

Right now, it looks like Strasburg (7 years / $245mm) is in the driver’s seat. He’s in year 4 and has produced 0.0 fWAR. He hasn’t played at all in 2023.

Rendon also got 7/$245 at the same time. This is year 4 and he has 4.0 fWAR so far.

Abreu only got $60mm but is at -1 fWAR. I guess I’d still rather have his contract than Strasburg’s. But good lord, he’s making that money (for the next two years too) to produce worse than what you could reasonably expect from a AAA journeyman.

I am getting to the point where I’m now perversely interested to see just how bad he can be, and just how long we’ll keep trotting him out there. Chris Davis had -2.6 fWAR in 2018…I kinda want to see if Abreu can actually be worse than that. I think he can do it; i mean shit, Davis hit 16 HR that year…

Hate to say this, but what has he done lately?  I realize he's in semi-recovery mode, but his bat has gone to sleep this year.

Matijevic has 6 more home runs than Abreu in fewer at bats*

 

* Hensley and Dubon have INFINITY times more home runs than Abreu

His last contract with Baltimore was 7/$161 million.  He only made it to year 5 and had 2.2 fWAR for the first year and a total of -4.8 over the next 4.

Holy shit. That’s gonna be hard for Abreu to “top”.

Is the ball just not carrying today?  I'm usually a very good judge off the bat, but that's like the 4th ball that seemed gone today that wasn't really that close

I hate this offense

Not to worry We’ve been told we’d win 80-90% of our games with this lineup.

Bregman up instead of Abreu with the bases loaded.  Let's see how it works out
