All told, Abreu spent about three months in the Dominican. Once the 2014 season began, Abreu, who is married, bought a two-story, 2,748-square-foot Spanish-style house in Miami for $445,000. His family, including his parents and sister, arrived in the U.S. in May and now live in the house, although they told the Tribune they rarely venture far from it. The All-Star Game in July in Minneapolis was the first time they saw him play in person.
