HOUSTON — Retirement and the Hall of Fame will have to wait a little longer for Roger Clemens, because The Rocket has decided to go on one final mission for Houston.No. 22 agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year deal with the Astros to come back for a 23rd season, or at least the remaining four months of the current season.
The seven-time Cy Young Award winner ended his seven-month retirement by accepting a deal that will pay him approximately $12.8 million — the pro-rated value of his $22,000,022 seasonal contract — to pitch for the Astros for the balance of the current season. Until he joins the Astros, Clemens is on a Minor League contract valued at $322,000 annually.
