Jose Abreu’s three-year contract with the White Sox comes to an end this season. Should the team bring back their fan-favorite slugger?
For the sake of argument, let's assume that this next contract is one that satisfies Abreu, the White Sox organization, and the fans who want to still see the Cuban slugger on the South Side for as long as possible. There is a larger and more existential debate about what a"good" contract looks like, whether you view it from the player perspective or the overall payroll/team perspective .
There are two main benefits to this deal. The first is that it guarantees that José Abreu will spend the entirety of his career in a White Sox uniform. At the end of the day, a fan's rooting interest in their favorite baseball team is an emotional one, often times entrenched in generations of family bonding. Fans have grown to love José Abreu and don't want to see him play for another team.
However, more importantly, José Abreu is likely to be very good during most, if not all, of his next contract. As stated in the film Moneyball,"We're all told at some point in time that we can no longer play the children's game, we just don't... don't know when that's gonna be. Some of us are told at eighteen, some of us are told at forty, but we're all told.
