The Houston Astros placed right-handed pitcher Brandon Backe on waivers today.
31 year old Backe was 0-0 with a 13.50 ERA in 13 innings for Houston this season. Backe was shocked after being designated for assignment, and did not want to play for the Astros anymore if that were to happen. He rejected assignment to AAA Round Rock, and will likely become a free agent and obtain all of his 1.5 million dollar salary after 3 days.
