Astros Re-sign Ben Gamel to One-Year Deal

The Houston Astros have re-signed outfielder Ben Gamel to a one-year, $1.2 million contract, which includes a $200,000 signing bonus. Gamel, who previously played for the New York Mets and had a brief stint with the Astros, hit .259 in 22 games last season, while also excelling at Triple-A with a .314 average. This move adds depth to the Astros' outfield, especially after trading Kyle Tucker, and Gamel's versatility is seen as beneficial for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, the St. Louis Cardinals have yet to make any roster moves this offseason, although several former players have signed with other teams, including Tommy Pham joining the Pittsburgh Pirates. Additionally, lefty reliever Danny Coulombe, who had a successful stint with the Orioles, has signed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Twins after the Orioles declined his option due to injury concerns. These roster changes highlight the ongoing shifts in player dynamics across Major League Baseball as teams prepare for the new season.
