Astros do minor league deal with Erik Bedard
Erik Bedard - S - Houston Astros
Jan. 21, 2013 - 8:10 PM ET

Astros signed LHP Erik Bedard to a minor league contract.

It's a nice low-risk move for the Astros, who could spin Bedard for a prospect at the trade deadline if he gets off to a decent start. The veteran lefty posted a 3.12 ERA over his first 10 outings in 2012 for the Pirates before falling apart. He was released by Pittsburgh in August.
