Minor Lines 8/13/23: The Wilyer Abreu Game

Related Topics: Bobby Abreu, Enmanuel Valdez

35 — guess what that number represented in Sunday afternoon’s game against the Buffalo Bisons (Blue Jays AAA).

No, it’s not the number of Table Talk Pies advertisements Polar Park ran, it’s the number of total bases accrued by the WooSox, who never let their feet off the gas. When people think of the return on investment for Christian Vazqueza at the deadline last year, most point to Enmanuel Valdez, who has gained Major League experience, but Wilyer Abreu is changing that narrative this week. Abreu cranked three home runs and was maybe 30 feet or so from picking up a fourth, accounting for 5 RBIs.
