The Venezuela native had planned to sign with Boston in 2016, but the Red Sox were not allowed to participate in the international draft that year as punishment for violating international signing rules. A year later, Abreu signed with the Houston Astros and played four-plus years in their minor league system, moving up to number 30 on their prospect rankings. At the trade deadline in 2022, the Astros sent Abreu and Enmanuel Valdez to Boston in return for Christian Vázquez. The trade was not viewed favorably in Boston (not in the clubhouse nor in Kenmore Square),…

The Chicago Fire crashed out of the 2024 Leagues Cup rather unceremoniously, losing 3-1 to Liga MX side Deportivo Toluca on Thursday. Together with an earlier 2-1 defeat away to Sporting Kansas City, this meant that the Fire finished bottom of their group in the continental tournament. The outcome shouldn’t be surprising, perhaps, when considering the lineups rolled out by manager Frank Klopas. Superstar striker Hugo Cuypers did not spend a minute on the pitch, reserve goalkeeper Spencer Richey played both matches in full, and several second team players were given playing time in the Leagues Cup. The tournament came…
