The Astros have agreed to terms with free-agent righty Hector Rondon, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (on Twitter). Rondon, an Octagon client, was non-tendered by the Cubs earlier this month. He’ll give Houston an arm with closing experience to help fortify the back of the bullpen.

3rd is where Cozart will play and Kinsler will play 2nd. Angels are gonna be my stay up late and watch west coast team this year. Surprised Santana got 20 million a year from the Philadelphia. I expected more around 15 million.

They had just added Kinsler, so 2B is probably out as well.

Going to have to have one of them play 3B.

The Angels infield defense is going to be ridiculous. Their pitching staff was 27th in groundball rate last year though.

Kinsler is 36 and declining and Cozart has 1 good year under his belt

it's better than what they had, lands them about middle of the pack

Tell me about Hector Rondon. I know the only consistent thing about him this year was his frustration of Cubs fans. Seems like we got a good piece if he can return to previous form. I have no idea what his issue was this year but looking at his numbers, the walk rate skyrocketed and home runs were up. His slider looks really good on some of the highlights I watched.

Dustin Fowler of A's is suing the White So over his injury. If you remember he was the rookie for the Yankees who ran into an uncovered electrical box and tore his knee up.

Even when Rondon was good, he had you worrying. His peripheral numbers don’t tell the whole story. Guys get on, when he was good he worked out of it . When he wasn’t as good, they scored. The cubs really needed him in high leverage spots the past two years and he couldn’t answer the call consistently

That said, the money is right and I saw a note that he would’ve had the 2nd highest FB velo for astro relievers last season.

Matt Kemp going back to the Dodgers for Adrian Gonzalez, Scott Kazmir, Brandon McCarthy and Charlie Culberson

Salary clear out I guess?
