Abreu is a bag

And yet, this is pretty impressive. From the Slimes:

Ed Wade is the last man to sign Bobby Abreu to a contract. It was nearly seven years ago, when Wade was the general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies and Abreu was an emerging star. To keep him out of free agency, Wade signed Abreu to a deal that eventually paid $80 million over six seasons.

Abreu drove in at least 100 runs in every year of the contract. The only other players to do so in each of those years were Albert Pujols and Alex Rodriguez.
