WEDNESDAY: Buster Olney says Abreu is now willing to take a one-year deal. He speculates that teams such as the Mets, Braves, Angels, Giants, and Red Sox might be able to afford that (again, that is Olney’s speculation).
TUESDAY: According to ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick, free agent outfielder Bobby Abreu has lowered his expectations to the three-year, $10-11MM range of Raul Ibanez and Milton Bradley.
The Dodgers, Reds, or Braves could get in on Abreu, but I imagine they’d still balk at the price.
