Astros signed RHP Jose Veras to a one-year, $2 million contract.
The deal also includes a $3.5 million club option for 2014. Veras has put up a 4.01 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over seven seasons, but he's also struck out well over a batter per inning the last three years. He might be the best option at closer for the rebuilding Astros.
