Jose Dariel Abreu to the South Side....

[Grinch]

Per MLBTraderumors:

The White Sox will sign Cuban first baseman Jose Dariel Abreu for six years and $68MM, MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez reports (on Twitter). The deal is pending a physical. FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal originally reported that Abreu would sign for six years and $68MM, and that the White Sox were be the likely team.

Seemed like a likely fit, signals the end of the Konerko era. I wonder if it will be Abreu or Dunn at 1B?

Damn. Was hoping the mets might step up. Cheap bastards.

The Mets don't need a DH........

The Mets need lots of things.

Kidding aside though, that's clearly a fav to here in bidding. That's part of why guys like Pujols end up in the AL - they can DH at the end of contracts. NL teams can't take the same risk. MLB needs to do something about it (like dropping the DH).
