On Wednesday morning, it was reported that Michael Brantley was signing a three-year deal with the Toronto Blue Jays. Those reports were quickly shut down and by Wednesday afternoon, he was re-signing with the Houston Astros on a two-year, $32 million deal, pending physical, as first reported by Mark Berman of Fox 26.
It is the same terms of Brantley’s last contract with the Astros, and it is a critical addition for an outfield in desperate need of talent.
