So long, Ryan Vogelsong. We hardly knew ye.
All week, rumors of the free-agent right-hander and the Astros have swirled.
Now, it seems that his former team, the Giants, has made a push to re-sign the hurler, likely pricing the Astros out of his market.
Sources: Vogelsong shifts course. No deal with #Astros. In serious discussions with #SFGiants.

While this isn't surprising, we can probably guess what caused the rift.
The Astros
When his former team came calling, he certainly would jump at the chance to go back there.
Onward and upward, Astros. Find another long reliever from this pile of discarded arms. Hey, look at the deal on that James Shields. That's quite the markdown. Huh? Huh?
