ESPN's Buster Olney is reporting that the Astros plan to trim their payroll by roughly $15 million this winter. "The Astros' payroll will end up being cut somewhere in the range of $15 m, from $107 m. to something in the low 90s. Not much flexibility," Olney wrote on his Twitter page. With their $107 million payroll, Houston won just 74 games in 2009 and trailed St. Louis in the NL Central by 17 games.
