Signing with SF. I never saw any printed interest by the Astros. Wonder why?

This article points to Mark Melancon as the reason.

I read he and Cole are best friends so I hoped this would help sign him. I have not seen anything, however, saying the Astros made him a contract offer.

It is very surprising how little he got. What, $7m for two years plus a cheap player option? There must be something that teams don’t like about him. Every team in baseball could use another good LH RP, and every team could afford that. Well, maybe not the Rays. But every other team.

The Astros have Tony Sipp and Anthony Gose.  They don't need a LH reliever.

Boshers looks like a better option than either of them.

Not so fast, Blog Writer. They see something in Gose, and Feb 18 is a bit too soon to toss him aside.

I’d love to be pleasantly surprised by Gose, but I think the waiver claim of Boshers shows that they saw something in him just as much as the Rule 5 claim of Gose did.

Regardless of Gose and Boshers, it would seem that Tony Watson was much better option and was obviously available.  I'm with Jim.  There must be something more to the story.

If the Astros offered him a contract, no one reported it.

I believe Boshers has at least one option year left.  Gose cant be sent down with a trade.
