Red Sox's Abreu Hits 37 HRs Since Declining Extension

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu has shown his decision to decline a contract extension was wise, hitting 37 home runs in 247 games with a .784 OPS since passing on the deal. The defensive standout won't be arbitration eligible until after the 2026 season, meaning he won't hit free agency until 2029, potentially setting himself up for a lucrative deal after proving his worth at the major league level.
