Joining the long list of players whose first card this year was from Topps Now is Wilyer Abreu. Abreu, along with Enmanuel Valdez, was acquired from the Astros last year in the deadline deal that sent Christian Vazquez out of town. That deal may look REALLY good next year if Boston keeps both players this offseason. Both players can absolutely rake.
Abreu was called up late in the season and actually looks like the better long-term option. Abreu hit his first Major League home run on September 24, his third Major League game. Boston won 17-1, beating those same Astros. The home run was one of his four hits on the day. He also hit a double and drove in four runs.
