Free-agent right-hander Nate Pearson agreed to a one-year, $1.35 million deal with the Houston Astros on Friday, a source told Ari Alexander. Pearson was once a top-100 prospect in the Toronto Blue Jays system and still throws hard, but he has transitioned to a relief role and spent the past few years pitching in relief for the Chicago Cubs. He was ranked as a top-10 overall prospect by both MLB Pipeline and Baseball America before the 2020 season, but he has not lived up to the hype. The 29-year-old looked better at Triple-A Iowa in 2025 than he did at the big-league level. He only appeared in 11 games out of the 'pen in Chicago, allowing 15 earned runs on 22 hits (two homers) while walking 10 and striking out only seven in 14 2/3 innings pitched. While Pearson has mostly pitched in relief since 2021, it's expected that Houston will give him a chance to return to a starting role in 2026.--Keith Hernandez
