As Yuli Gurriel's tenure in Houston appears over, José Abreu is the perfect fit at first...
Houston Astros bullpen catcher Javier Bracamonte signs a kid’s glove during the Astros FanFest at Minute Maid Park on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2023 in Houston.Look around a major league clubhouse and most lockers are stocked with opposing jerseys. Some series aren’t complete without friends placing team allegiances aside and asking for a memento.
Abreu’s unofficial welcome to Houston arrived on Saturday. He signed autographs and accepted selfie requests from a FanFest crowd that Astros officials estimated at 34,968. Barring something unforeseen, Gurriel’s seven-year tenure with the team is over, depriving it of a clubhouse cornerstone and a mentor for one of its most prodigious young players. Signing Abreu eliminated an everyday role for Gurriel in Houston, but owner Jim Crane maintained the team had interest in retaining him in a less prominent role.
