Astros void deal with Cuban arm Cionel Perez | astros.com
HOUSTON -- The Astros have voided a deal with Cuban pitching prospect Cionel Perez, a source told MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez Wednesday. Perez was set to be introduced to the media in Houston last week before the deal was voided due to an issue related to his physical. In September, the Astros agreed to a deal worth $5.15 million with the left-hander, which was the largest contract awarded to an international amateur prospect under the international signing guidelines in franchise history. The Astros, who haven't commented on Perez, could still work out another deal with him.
