Contract extension chatter
While the Astros prepare for their first Spring Training game action this weekend, Astros owner Jim Crane went into a detail on a variety of subjects, link from Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle. One item of interest was Crane’s comments about possibly offering a contract extension to Verlander and Cole, both of whom are scheduled to be free-agents next offseason.
In addition to his comments about contract extensions, Crane also shed some insight on the Dallas Keuchel and Marwin Gonzalez front, both of whom are already free-agents now.
