DENVER — There was a time when shortstop Tim Anderson said he wanted to spend the rest of his career with the White Sox. But Jose Abreu said it, too, with even more conviction, and he’s an Astro now.
Anderson, under contract for $12.5 million this season, has a $14 million club option with a $1 million buyout for 2024. At one time thought to be a team-friendly contract for a former batting champion and two-time All-Star at a premium position, it seemed that picking up next season would be a no-brainer. But his surprisingly poor performance this season raises questions.
