Bye Bobby
December 2, 2008, 12:02 amFrom PA:
Brian Cashman said today the Yankees are “engaged” with Bobby Abreu and Andy Pettitte. That’s news to Abreu’s people.
“We haven’t heard from them once since the end of the season,” said Chris Leible, one of Abreu’s agents. “I’ll be honest with you, Bobby isn’t happy about it.”
And that’s the end of Bobby’s tenure in the Bronx. Abreu was a fun player to watch for the right reasons at the plate but for the wrong reasons on the field (his defense was horrible). He was a solid player and did well in front of Alex Rodriguez, however, I think Nick Swisher would be an even better 3-hitter, so I’m not too worried about his absence in the lineup.
Anyway, have fun with the Mets, Bobby (or the Braves or the Cubs).
