LOS ANGELES -- The Astros took the first steps to welcoming newly acquired closer Roberto Osuna onto their team on Sunday when the former All-Star met with manager AJ Hinch in a closed-door meeting before standing up in front of his new teammates and letting them know he was eager for a new start.
Osuna, acquired from the Blue Jays nearly a week ago, comes to the Astros after serving a 75-game suspension under the MLB-MLBPA Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse policy that ended Saturday. Osuna, sitting between president of baseball operations and general manager Jeff Luhnow and interpreter Oz Ocampo in the visitor's dugout at Dodger Stadium, spoke mostly about his new teammates.
