MLB: Gonzalez agrees to 1-year deal with Astros

Infielder Marwin Gonzalez and the Astros agreed to a one-year contract for $1.06 million Friday.

Gonzalez, 25, hit .277 with six homers and 23 RBIs in 285 at-bats last season when he made $504,500. He had asked for $1.4 million in arbitration and had been offered $900,000.

The Astros have agreed to contracts with all their arbitration-eligible players.

Vogelsong gets $4 million deal

Ryan Vogelsong visited the Astros this week and said he had an uncomfortable feeling about how he might fit in, and he had discussions with other teams during the course of this offseason.

Each time, everything pointed him back to the Bay Area and the Giants.

Vogelsong just needed some patience as the Giants figured out the rest of their roster.

The free-agent righthander finalized a $4 million, one-year contract to stay with San Francisco, a deal includes an additional $3 million in performance bonuses.

Vogelsong, 37, went 8-13 with a 4.00 ERA in 32 starts last season.
