One of the past Houston Astros stars has become available after he was designated for assignment and immediately released by his new club.
Since Phil Maton, Ryne Stanek, and Hector Neris played a huge role in their bullpen being one of the best in Major League Baseball for an extended period of time, the consensus thinking was that the Astros would at least re-sign one of them., inking a one-year, $9 million contract to ideally come in and shore up their backend unit that struggled mightily down the stretch last season.
Chicago Cubs news: Reliever Hector Neris was DFA'd and has already cleared waivers, sources tell ESPN. He's being released. Jack Neely, acquired from the Yankees in the Mark Leiter Jr trade, is being called up to take his place.For Houston, this gives them an opportunity to potentially bring in a pitcher they desperately need.Luis Garcia actually won't be making his return this season
