Word from Richard Justice that Mier signed for $1.358m.
Not exactly a round number, but apparently $26,000 over the recommended slot price. If you're doing the math - and methinks some of you are - the Astros went over the "recommended" slot by just under 2%. We'll see if Bud renews Drayton's smiley face on the refrigerator.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
