KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) -Ivan Rodriguez is set to join the Houston Astros as soon as his physical is complete.
The 13-time Gold Glove winner said Thursday that he plans to join the team Sunday.
He and the Astros have agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million contract, but the signing hasn’t been officially announced by the team pending the results of his physical.
The Astros needed a veteran catcher to replace Brad Ausmus, who became a free agent and signed with the Dodgers. Last year, the Astros used Ausmus, Humberto Quintero and J.R. Towles behind the plate.
