José Abreu met with the media on Saturday in Sugar Land ahead of his second game with the Space Cowboys. Abreu said that he is expecting to fly to Seattle on Sunday, and will rejoin the team ahead of Monday night's game vs the Mariners.
Speaking through an interpreter, Abreu said the demotion to the Spring Training facility was "the best thing" he's ever gone through in his career. He said the experience made him realize who he is.
We will see if the adjustments that Abreu made with his timing and his swing will get him back to looking like the player he once was.
