The Houston Astros and free agent Carlos Beltran reportedly have agreed to a one-year deal worth $16 million.
Multiple reports on Saturday said Beltran will be staying in the Lone Star State.
New York traded Beltran to Texas in July during the final season of his three-year contract. In deciding to join the Astros, Beltran will reunite with Yankees teammate, Brian McCann, who was traded for a pair of pitching prospects.
The Astros won 84 games last season and also have added outfielder Josh Reddick this offseason.
Between the Yankees and Rangers, Beltran batted .295 with 29 home runs and compiled an .850 on-base plus slugging percentage. He most likely will play first base or serve as the designated hitter for the Astros.
