Breaking News!!! X 2

Gotcha with the headline eh?  Not really breaking news.. but it is news.  Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte both filed for free agency.  Not like anyone is surprised.  No this doesn't mean that they won't be coming back to the Astros next season.  It just means they filed for free agency.  That's it.  The chances of them coming back this season are as good as they'll ever be and nothing has really changed since the end of the season.  Link

And the second set of Astros news...  The Astros declined the 18 million dollar option on Jeff Bagwell instead, buying out his contract for 7 million.  What does this mean?  It just officially means that Bagwell, the best Astros player ever, will never play baseball as a member of the Houston Astros.  Not like that's anything new.  We've pretty much known that since he said he couldn't play after spring training.  This is just making it official.  Expect Bagwell to announce his retirement from baseball in the near future.  Link
