The Chicago White Sox have not had much to celebrate so far this season.
They are one of the worst teams in the league with a record of 13-26.
No one expected them to be that bad to start the season.
But, they will have a celebration planned for one of their former MVPs on Friday.
That is because Jose Abreu and the Houston Astros are coming into town.
According to James Fegan, the White Sox will have a video tribute for Abreu before the series opener.
With the Astros in town tomorrow, White Sox are going to have a pregame video tribute for José Abreu.

Abreu spent the first nine seasons of his career as a member of the White Sox.
He won Rookie of the Year and made three All-Star teams in that time.
Also, he was named AL MVP in the 60-game 2020 season.
Abreu has been one of the most consistent players in the MLB since he signed with Chicago in 2014.
But, his first season in Houston has been anything but positive.
He is struggling at the plate, unlike anything we have seen from him before.
In 36 games this season, Abreu has yet to hit a home run.
He is batting a .218 with 14 runs batted in and nine runs scored this year.
At the age of 36, it seems like Abreu might be entering the final few years of his career.
His power numbers are nowhere close to what they used to be earlier in his career.
Last season, Abreu hit 15 home runs in 157 games.
In four of the first six years of his career he hit 30+ home runs.
It is safe to say that Abreu is no longer the power hitter we are accustomed to.
