The Houston Astros reportedly reached an agreement Thursday to re-sign relief pitcher Tony Sipp on a three-year, $18 million deal.
Brian McTaggart of MLB.com first reported an agreement was in place pending an official physical. Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com passed along the financial details. Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com also confirmed the deal.
Sipp is coming off of an outstanding 2015 season with the Astros. The 32-year-old left-hander posted a microscopic 1.99 ERA to go along with a 1.03 WHIP and 62 strikeouts in 54.1 innings across 60 appearances out of the bullpen.
