But the Astros have enough pitching that they didn't need to take on a huge and risky contract on a guy of his age/injury history no matter how good he has been. I would imagine it was similar to Correa, in that the Astros would have given him the per year dollars just not the length of the contract he may have wanted.
All the best to him. Except in the event they face off in the World Series of course.
