The agent for Houston Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez disputed a recent story from the Dominican Republic about contract negotiations with the team.
Ulises Cabrera told the Houston Chronicle's Chandler Rome a rumored $150 million price tag for an extension is "absolutely 100 percent made up information."
"That is 1,000 percent categorically false," he said. "I haven't even had a conversation with [general manager Dana Brown] with respect to Framber Valdez. There are no negotiations. Whatever conversations that do exist will not be handled in the press."
