Astros: Free agent Hector Rondon off to the Arizona Diamondbacks

Hector Rondon and the Diamondbacks have reportedly agreed to a one-year deal worth $3 million. He’ll be taking a $1.5 million pay cut after making $4.5 million last season with the Houston Astros. There is an option for 2021 that ranges from $4 million to $5 million, depending on the number of innings worked.

The 31-year-old was one of the most called upon out of the pen in his two seasons here in Houston. He led the team in 2018 with 63 appearances and pitched in 62 games in 2019, surpassed only by Roberto Osuna and Will Harris.
