We may still be waiting to see what the team does with regard to a center-fielder for 2020. But while we hold for that, Mike Hazen has made another acquisition. Nick Piecoro just reported that the team is nearing a deal with right-handed reliever Hector Rondon. According Piecoro, the contract gives Rondon a “guaranteed $3 million, one source said. He will earn $2.5 million in 2020 with a $500,000 buyout on the team option. The agreement is pending a physical exam.” The reliever will be 32 in February, and has pitched for seven years in the majors, first with the Chicago Cubs, and over the last two years out of the Astros’ bullpen.
