5/10/24	Jose Abreu Demotion Already Paying Off For Houston Astros. It's been less than two weeks since the Houston Astros mercifully demoted struggling first baseman Jose Abreu to the minor leagues, and the move is already paying major dividends. At the time he was sent down, Abreu was batting an anemic .099/.156/.113 with no homers, three RBIs and considerably more strikeouts (18) than hits (seven), enduring one of the worst offensive starts in MLB history. In just 22 games, he managed to be worth -1.5 WAR, making him a main culprit for the Astros' horrendous start. Replacing Abreu with literally anyone else should have yielded better results, and sure enough, that's exactly what's happened. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/astros/news/jose-abreu-demo...
5/01/24	New-look Astros seek back-to-back wins vs. Guardians. Hours after the Astros made the shocking move of optioning veteran first baseman Jose Abreu to allow him to work on his swing at its Florida spring training facility, his replacements played a role in Houston's 10-9, 10-inning victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday. The Astros claimed the opener of this three-game series, set to continue on Wednesday in Houston, by erasing a three-run, first-inning deficit and later getting a two-run, walk-off homer from pinch-hitter Victor Caratini. Joey Loperfido and Jon Singleton — the players most impacted by the Abreu move — delivered timely hits that keyed the Astros' five-run frame in the fourth inning. It was the MLB debut for Loperfido, a top prospect in the organization. Source: https://deadspin.com/new-look-astros-seek-back-to-...

Abreu's struggles haven't gone unnoticed by general manager Dana Brown, who gave his honest review of the first baseman's performance. Abreu has started his season on a brutal 4-for-59 at the plate.

4/14/24	MLB rumors: The $58.5 million Astros slugger scouts are 'alarmed' about being toast. The Houston Astros signed Jose Abreu to a three-year, $58.5 million contract ahead of the 2023 season, and it has not gone to plan in the first two seasons, as he has had a stark drop-off in production since departing the Chicago White Sox. There is some concern coming from scouts regarding whether he can regain form. “Scouts are alarmed that Astros first baseman Jose Abreu's bat has drastically slowed and wonder how patient the team will be considering Abreu is in the second year of a three-year, $58.5 million contract,” Bob Nightengale of USA Today writes.

4/14/24	Prospect News: Tonight Is Right For Lonnie White Jr.. Astros 1B Joey Loperfido (24, AAA) already has nine home runs in 12 games this season while the major league club is getting minimal production from Jose Abreu and Jonathan Singleton. Abreu is making $19.5 million this year and 19.5 again in 2025. He has a wRC+ of negative 32 in his 12 games this season. Here’s what I wrote about Loperfido when I ranked him my number one in my Houston Astros Top 10 Prospects for 2024 Fantasy Baseball: “A seventh-round pick in 2021, Loperfido produced better than average lines at each step along the way until a difficult 32-game stint in Triple-A to close out the 2023 season. In the box, he’s a 6’3” 230 lb lefty with power. In the field, he’s a right-handed thrower with enough athleticism that he’s a real option in center field. In 84 games at Double-A, he slashed .296/.392/.548 with 19 home runs and 20 stolen bases. I’m pretty bullish on his chances to carve out a role for himself in center or a corner outfield spot or at first base.” Source: https://razzball.com/prospect-news-tonight-is-righ...

2/21/24	Astros' Jose Abreu is way past White Sox saga and all about a ring; says, 'I'm a person that doesn't give up'. Jose Abreu's hair has gotten longer up top, and his next gray one will be his first. Last August, in his first season with the Astros, Abreu marked 10 years since his defection from Cuba. It's got to be greener on the American League favorites' side of the street now. Early last spring, the former MVP still was stung by what he called “disrespect” from the Sox and, in a conversation with the Sun-Times, choked up while trying to convey the feelings he still had for his big-league home for nine power-packed seasons.

10/20/23	Jose Abreu still manages to be an RBI machine in Houston. The Chicago White Sox let Jose Abreu leave. He chose to sign with the Houston Astros in free agency which turned out to be a marvelous decision for him. He is now on a winning team which is much better than being on the Chicago White Sox who are mostly a losing team. Abreu went to the Astros as they were defending their title as World Series champions. He wants to add a ring to his resume and now he has a good chance . They are currently in the middle of an amazing duel with the Texas Rangers in the ALCS. The series is tied at two games apiece. Abreu's regular season wasn't very good.

Jose Abreu, their prized free agent signing over the winter, hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning to put the Astros ahead 3-1, and starter Jose Urquidy, followed by relievers Hector Neris, Bryan Abreu and Ryan Pressly, shut down a dangerous Twins lineup to secure a record-extending ALCS appearance.

The defending World Series champions will meet the Texas Rangers in the best-of-seven ALCS, with the first game scheduled for Sunday in Houston.
