 Houston Astros and Personal Services Contracts
Houston Astros and Personal Services Contracts
Sounds like a butler doesn't it? Actually, it is just a contract that former players sign with a major league team in order to work in the front office or simply help in ways that vary depending on what you have to offer as a coach, executive or both.

Last June, when Craig Biggio collected his 3000 th hit, pundits and old timers heralded it as the last time it will be done without the benefit of the DH, or the “hard way”. Even though he did play twenty games at DH, and the same people said this when Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. did it, it is hard to imagine it with free agency, and ...

He's had his opportunities: the Reds offered him a minor league deal, and the Rays offered him a one-year/$1million deal. He declined both of these franchises for which he's never played.
