Bobby Abreu Indian Trade is Collapsing

On Thursday evening, it turned out, the agreement was closer, that would send Bobby Abreu to the Indians to trade. The same evening, it began to seem less safe. Now, in the late morning of Friday, the contract fell apart, started by John Heyman CBSSports.com has learned.

Interestingly, Heyman says that the deal fell apart, "as he is." Thus, it does not mean, Abreu did not eventually be sold to the Indians, but it is possible, negotiations will be filed for good, too.

With Kendrys Morales to come in terms of health and the Angels have a full field - not to mention the 2011 Rookie of the Year Deputy Mark rams do not have work every day - do not really have a chance to get a lot of Abreu playing time if he remains in place. Thus, the trade would make sense for the Angels, from the perspective of the compensation file space and get rid of disgruntled players possible.

The Indians, meanwhile, has problems with depth in the outfield because of injury. And every day appointed by the Travis Hafner striker is not quite the model of health (he has not played in more than 118 games in a season since 2007).

Just a guess, but $ 9 million Abreu is going to do in 2012 may be a problem in any business - that is, as the angels gather them in the ship.
