Astros owner Drayton McLane appears to be keeping the team. McLane had set a Jan. 31 deadline for an investment group to make an offer and said Monday that "nothing materialized" and he was looking ahead to the 2010 season. "As I've said all along, my family and I are not actively attempting to sell the Astros," McLane said in a statement released by the team. "Over the years, I have been approached many times by groups interested in discussing the possible purchase of the team, and I've always been open to listening. "This group was granted an exclusive negotiating window which expired yesterday," he said. "However, nothing materialized."
