José Abreu doubled on the first pitch of his first at-bat with the Chicago White Sox on March 31, 2014, against the Minnesota Twins. “That pitch was right there, so I have to take advantage of it,” Abreu told reporters through an interpreter after the game. The first baseman has been a consistent offensive force ever since. The 2020 American League MVP and three-time All-Star is on the move to the Houston Astros, who announced Monday they signed Abreu to a three-year contract.
