I’m surprised they optioned Abreu instead of Singleton solely based on Abreu’s 19.5m/yr salary. Carrying 6 in the OF is certainly a choice (Tucker, Chas, Meyers, Dubon, Yordan, Loperfido). Obviously Dubon is utility, Yordan can DH and Loperfido can play 1B, but it’s just an interesting move to not send Singleton down in this situation. But getting Abreu on the right track instead of benching is also the right move long term I think. Lots of moving pieces with this. Can only hope it pays off

I’d be really shocked if he makes it back to the roster.

Going to Florida isn’t going to turn back the clock 5 years on his swing speed.

ETA: This feels like a mutual parting without them straight up DFA’ing him.

Agree. Having him rot on the bench doesn't make things better. Have him get some ABs/more practice might help with confidence. Who knows?
