The proposed sale of the Houston Astros from Drayton McLane to Jim Crane is expected to be approved on Thursday by major league owners. Meanwhile, Astros general manager Ed Wade is still working to improve the team. "We're business as usual," he said. "The proposed change or whatever which way you would say it, it's been there," he said Tuesday as general managers opened meetings at a downtown Milwaukee hotel. "We've run through the draft, we've run through the trading deadline. We've run through the labor period and now we're at the general managers meeting and it still hasn't been finalized," Wade added.
