Free Agent says 2B Loretta will sign with Astros

Free Agent says 2B Loretta will sign with Astros

Mark Loretta will sign with the Houston Astros on Thursday, his agent said.

The agreed-to deal is for one year at $2.5 million, but could be worth as much as $3.5 million with incentives, said Loretta's agent, Bob Garber.

The free-agent second baseman had multiple offers, including ones from the Texas Rangers and Cincinnati Reds. While the Rangers offered more money, Garber said Houston was a better opportunity.

Craig Biggio has long been entrenched as the starting second baseman for the Astros. But Garber said Loretta, who has also played first, third and shortstop during his career, will play "all over the infield" for Houston.

"We wanted to wait until the second-base market got better. The market is great for everyone but second basemen," Garber said.

Loretta, a 12-year veteran, played for the Boston Red Sox last season, hitting .285 in 155 games. He has previously played for the Brewers, Astros and Padres and has a career .299 average and .987 career fielding percentage.

Finally, a person who looks at who has the better chance to win and get further instead of listening and wanting to go where the more money is, I respect Loretta a lot more now...Hopefully the Astros will get a sleeper in him and he will do well for them....

They won't get a sleeper, they know what they are getting, and it is good. They will get a potential All Star 2 Bagger who will hit 300 almost guarenteed...great signing plus veteran leadership....
