Houston Astros first baseman Jose Abreu has been optioned to West Palm Beach, the Triple A affiliate of the Houston Astros.
As a veteran with over five years of major league service time, Abreu cannot be optioned without his consent but he agreed to be sent down to overcome his struggles at the plate.
Abreu, now 37, signed a three-year deal with a $58.5MM guarantee with the Astros heading into the 2023 season. Abreu has only 7 hits in 71 at bats...a .099 batting average. What makes this even more head scratching is the fact that Abreu is a .284 lifetime hitter who has hit 261 homers. In his 11 year career, he has knocked in 100 or more runs 6 times.
