To provide an update on a couple of free agents: Logan Forsythe signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers this week and has been invited to their Spring Training. Dallas Keuchel remains in free agency as Spring Training games begin. Several teams have expressed interest this offseason, including the recently bolstered Phillies, but there is also a chance that he could end up back in Houston.
