Seems like Prospect Insider had posted this (below) about Abreu several days ago. I had not seen it until just now. They have Abreu at nealy $18M in Arb. More than I had guestimated.
“Chicago may listen to offers for the 2014 AL Rookie of the Year, but the asking price would be steep. The rebuilding White Sox have commanded top prospects when moving key pieces such as Chris Sale, Adam Eaton, and Jose Quintana in the last 12 months. The club would certainly employ the same approach with any potential Abreu deal.
In four big league seasons, the right-handed hitter has slashed .301/.359/.524 and averaged 33 home runs. According to MLB Trade Rumors, Abreu projects to make $17.9 million in arbitration next year. Perhaps, general manager Rick Hahn moves his star first baseman to reduce cost and add to Chicago’s burgeoning farm system.
Having said that, teams acquiring Abreu would not only give up a large number of prospects. They’ll be paying him approximately $40 million before he becomes a free agent after the 2019 season.”
