I understand the hang-up was on the Indians refusing to take on an undisclosed amount of Abreu’s salary, which makes sense. However, the thought of being able to turn Trevor Crowe into an old Bobby Abreu did seem enticing. I agreed with Stephanie’s refusal of acquiring Abreu in an article a few days ago; however, I did not know at that time all the Indians would have to give up was Crowe.

Crowe and 2 million for Abreu? I am certainly intrigued. It is a shame that the Angels would not take on more of Abreu’s salary. It seems to me that not a lot of other clubs are interested in Abreu at this point, and if the Angels keep him, I am sure it will become a clubhouse distraction.

Giving up Crowe is a bonus since I won’t have to watch one of the worst first round picks to ever wear a major league uniform any more.

I figure the Angels are trying to extort as much as they can for Abreu and the Indians are wisely saying no.So far.
