Ed Wade was all shuffling his feet and vague about it, but the Astros say they're out on free agent Barret Loux.
Wade:
"We've had further internal conversations and we're probably not going to pursue it. We talked long and hard about it and we wanted to make sure we did our advance work and tried to get an arm around the entire situation. At this point in time, it's something we're not going to pursue."
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
