Kent talking to Astros?

[SpreadOffense]

Is this true the Astros are in "Serious Negotiations" with Jeff Kent. Is this going to happen? Rumors are he may play third or play second with Biggio moving to the outfield. Can anyone give me more info on this?

Guess it is serious since they're saying he signed a 2-year deal with Houston ... Could be a very nifty lineup, especially if someone like Hidalgo rebounds.
