MLB Rumors: Astros ‘Balked’ at Blake Snell’s 2-Year, $60M Contract Asking Price | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

The Houston Astros showed interest in starting pitcher Blake Snell in free agency, although a contract agreement doesn’t appear to be happening anytime soon.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported on Sunday that the Astros “exchanged contract proposals this week” for the left-hander, although they “balked” at Snell asking for a two-year guarantee for $60 million as well as an opt-out at the end of the 2024 season.

Nightengale noted that the San Francisco Giants are the “favorite” for his services, although the team is also waiting for his contract demands to decrease.
