The Boston Red Sox are one of the clubs that the Chicago White Sox have talked to about a potential Jose Abreu trade, according to a report.

When Abreu was an amateur free agent in 2013, the Red Sox, Milwaukee Brewers and Houston Astros were the biggest threats to the White Sox for the first baseman's services.

Abreu carries two more years of club control and is expected to make between $14 million and $20 million per season throughout the remainder of his current deal.
