The Astros have signed Nelson Figueroa to a one-year, $900K deal, sez Zach Levine.
This is a low-risk move by the Astros. They have their long-relief/spot starter for a low price, and meet their quota of having someone old enough to have played for Leo Durocher on the roster.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
