The Astros are re-signing outfielder Ben Gamel, as first reported by Chandler Rome of The Athletic. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that it’s a one-year major league deal for the Wasserman client. Gamel is guaranteed a $200K signing bonus and receives a non-guaranteed $1MM base salary for the upcoming season, according to Passan. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that the salary becomes guaranteed if the veteran outfielder breaks camp.
Houston general manager Dana Brown has spoken all offseason about the team’s desire for a lefty-hitting outfielder. Gamel fits the bill and has some familiarity in the Houston clubhouse. The Astros snagged him off waivers from the Mets last August. Gamel provided a bit of a boost offensively, hitting .259/.377/.362 in 20 games. His season ended in mid-September when he broke his left fibula, sustained when he crashed into the outfield wall while tracking down a Mickey Moniak fly ball.
More to come.
