Astros To Sign Brandon Lyon

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | December 9, 2009 at 10:48pm CDT

10:48pm: Rosenthal says the Astros agreed to sign Lyon for $15MM over three years. That's too much of a commitment in my opinion, but congrats to Lyon and his agent, Barry Meister. The Tigers get a supplementary rounder (not from the Astros) in next year's draft.

10:35pm: Rosenthal hears from one source who says Lyon received a three-year $15MM offer, presumably from the Astros. 

10:14pm: MLB.com's Brian McTaggart says the Astros have reached a deal with Lyon, pending a physical.

10:13pm: The Astros are making a "strong run" for Brandon Lyon, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. At least one outlet is reporting that it's a done deal. Mark Berman, the sports director of MyFOX in Houston reports that the Astros have agreed to a three-year deal with Lyon. It would be puzzling to see the Astros sign Lyon to a three-year deal the same day they lost LaTroy Hawkins to the Brewers because of their reluctance to go beyond a single year.
