When Roman Anthony was signed to a long term contract I started looking at proven commodities in the Red Sox arsenal. Wilyer Abreu is the name I kept coming back to. He is 26 years old - 3 years younger than Durran, and his stats are remarkably similar in 2024 and 2025. I like consistency and I think Abreu would givethe Royals a steady, every day player that his age fits in with our core of BWJ, Garcia, and Vinnie. I also love that we have a strong Venezuelan presence in Salvy and Garcia. I know that doesn't mean much but I would like anyone we aquire to feel comfortable when they rrive in KC.
The Red Sox have been linked recently to needing pitching and catching - the two areas we have an abundance of talent. I think it makes too much sense to work with the Red Sox. I could be wrong on the player, but I think I'm right on the team to target.
