WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Dallas Keuchel, who's set to become a free agent at the end of the 2018 season, said Wednesday he won't negotiate with the Astros during the regular season. That means the club would have to try to sign Keuchel this spring or risk watching him hit the open market.
"If there is something, it's going to happen before the season," Keuchel said. "There's going to be no contractual negotiations during the regular season. I feel like that would be a negative light on some of the teammates while those guys are busting their butts.
