Everyone likes a good comeback story.
When George Foreman knocked out Michael Moorer and won the heavyweight championship of the world, that was awesome. December 16, 2014
Meanwhile, the Chicago White Sox signed free agent outfielder Melky Cabrera to a three-year, $42 million deal after a season in which he slashed .301/.351/.458, with 16 homers, an fWAR of 2.6, a wRC+ of 125 and a nERD of 1.63. This after already inking Adam LaRoche to play first base, starter Jeff Samardzija to the rotation, and David Robertson to the bullpen.
The AL Central is wide open in 2015, and the Royals are hoping a couple bounce-back candidates can help them compete for the division title or another wild card spot next year, despite the improvement of the White Sox and the continued presence of the Detroit Tigers.
Hey, everyone loves a good comeback story.
