Predicting Top 10 Selling Chicago Jerseys in 2020

2. Jose Abreu, 1st Baseman, White Sox
This guy is good. Jose Abreu has already broke the rookie record for home runs in the month of April, as well as RBI’s. He also leads the MLB in both of these categories. Yes, the Cuban rookie leads the MLB in both home runs and RBI’s.
Abreu came to the team with a lot of fan fare, and is seen as the South Siders’ answer to the aforementioned Core Four that the Cubs have. Him and Sale give the Sox and their fans hope, which seemed to be lost with the lack of top-end talent in the minor league system.
Abreu’s hot start will eventually slow down, and he will not have the same May and June as April, which has been shown before with other international talent. Will Abreu be the next best player in the MLB history? Probably not, but he will be one of the best in the game for a while, and his jersey will continue to jump off store shelves.
