Houston, more often than not, swung and missed within the first two rounds of the MLB Draft from 2013-2019. The Astros may now being paying for those mistakes.
Abreu has struggled mightily to begin the 2024 season. He has only seven hits in his 77 plate appearances, including only one extra-base hit. His batting average sits at .099.
“We met with José on this, and we both agree that this move will be good for him and for the team in the long run,” Brown said in a release the Astros sent out Tuesday. “We are confident that a change of scenery and a new environment will help him get his rhythm and timing back. José is a team-first guy, and we applaud him for this. We know what this guy can do, and we’re confident in his determination and work ethic.
The Astros said Abreu accepted the option to Houston's Spring Training facility in West Palm Beach. The option will take effect on Wednesday, when the team said it will make a corresponding move.
