The Houston Astros aren’t playing around this offseason.
According to a report by Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports on Thursday, the Astros have agreed to a four-year, $52 million deal with free agent outfielder Josh Reddick, pending a physical.

The 29-year-old Reddick hit .281 last season with 10 home runs and 37 RBIs in 115 combined appearances between the Oakland Athletics and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He had also been drawing interest from other American League clubs recently.
The Astros already have George Springer stationed in right field, Reddick’s primary position, so perhaps they’ll have some shuffling around to do with their lineup. In any case, Reddick should hopefully find the traffic in Houston to be a bit more to his liking.
