Crasnick says the Angels and Abreu have reached a preliminary agreement. It’ll be a done deal once he passes his physical and the Angels remove Nick Green from the 40-man to make room. Crasnick says the total could be near $8MM if Abreu hits his incentives. Also:
The Braves have also expressed serious interest in Abreu, but sources said Atlanta’s budget is so tight that general manager Frank Wren would have to stretch to give him a $5MM salary.
This is probably one of the weakest statements I have heard from Frank Wren. Rather than offering Glavine a multi-million dollar deal he should have gone after Abreu. Wren couldn’t keep Smoltzie over a few million dollars and now we can land Abreu in similar circumstance.
