Jose Abreu

Jose Abreu has an agreement to sign with the Houston Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Abreu and Houston are a perfect match with the Astros' need at first base. While Abreu had a down 2022 season, he still managed to hit .304 but with only 15 home runs. I would not worry about the power as he still posted elite exit velocities, and his expected home runs in Houston were 22. At his price, he is an excellent buy for 2023.

Jose Abreu has spoken with Padres management this month.

Fantasy Impact

Abreu is reportedly a "top priority" for the Padres this offseason, as the team is seeking additional power for the middle of the lineup. Despite a sharp decline in his home-run rate in 2022, Abreu still hit north of .300 with an .824 OPS and 40 doubles across 679 plate appearances for the White Sox. The three-time All-Star will turn 36 in January, and the win-now Padres seem like a good fit.

Jose Abreau is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact

This is simply a day off for the veteran first baseman who has played in 150 games this season. Andrew Vaughn will take over at 1B and bat cleanup.

Jose Abreu went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs batted in Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Abreu’s stellar 2022 continues. The 35-year-old veteran is slashing .313/.386/.458 with 15 home runs and 69 runs batted in this season. Abreu ranks in the top 10 in the AL in doubles, first in hits, third in batting average, and fourth in on base percentage this season.

Jose Abreu went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, and two runs scored in a win over Colorado Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Abreu drove a Justin Lawrence pitch deep o left center field to put the White Sox up 4-2 in the eighth inning. The 35-year-old is slashing .312/.386/.457 with 15 home runs and 67 runs batted in this season. Abreu is having a great season and should remain locked into fantasy lineups.
