Monday's Three Astros Things

Today MLB.com's Jim Callis announced the final piece of the puzzle for the Astros former draft picks that were unable to reach an agreement. Former first overall pick, Brady Aiken signed for $2,513,280.

Finally ... Brady Aiken's bonus w/@Indians is $2,513,280. Lower than I was led to believe. Slot at 17 is $2,393,600. @MLBDraft
