Back on February 15th, I posted about a source out of Houston close to former Astros GM Gerry Hunsicker. That same source has another update on Roger Clemens for us this morning.
Apparently, Hunsicker still feels that Clemens will sign with Houston on or shortly after May 1st. The Yankees and Red Sox were never seriously in the running for Roger, and Texas was a long shot at best. Clemens’s approach to his return was designed to guarantee him the most money possible.
On the off chance that Clemens retires, the Astros are expected to trade for a starting pitcher.
