Jose Abreu

The New York Yankees have endured a rough stretch recently, with significant series losses to the Red Sox, Braves, Orioles, and Mets, all under the national spotlight. The injuries to Giancarlo Stanton and Jasson Dominguez only added to their woes.

But the situation took a turn for the worse with the Houston Astros. Just weeks ago, many dismissed them as struggling, dealing with personnel issues and injuries. At the heart of their turmoil was Jose Abreu, released two weeks ago after failing to regain his previous form. Abreu, a former MVP vote recipient during his contract years from 2019 to 2022, had a disappointing tenure with the Astros, batting .217 with a .625 OPS and a 74 OPS+ over 176 games. His performance plummeted in 2024, hitting just .124 with a .361 OPS in 35 games, coupled with subpar defense.

The Astros will be paying Abreu over $30 million to depart, echoing the Yankees’ past experiences with high-priced underperformers. Ironically, Houston’s decision sparked a dramatic turnaround. They’ve won seven consecutive games, boasting a 26-15 record over their last 41 games and returning to .500 after a bleak start.

For Yankees fans, the Astros’ resurgence is a nightmare scenario come true. Meanwhile, the Yankees themselves face internal challenges, including a 3-9 record amidst Houston’s revival. Anthony Rizzo’s struggles and subsequent injury, along with lackluster performances from Gleyber Torres and the pitching staff, have compounded their issues.

As the Astros regain their stride, Yankees supporters are left to ponder their team’s own struggles and hope for a reversal of fortune before their season spirals further.
