Free agent Carlos Beltran has agreed to a one-year deal worth $16 million with the Houston Astros, a source told ESPNs Buster Olney on Saturday.The deal also includes a full no-trade clause, according to the source.The move adds to a busy offseason for the Astros, who have boosted their lineup by trading for Yankees catcher Brian McCann?and signing free-agent outfielder Josh Reddick.Houston missed the playoffs this year after winning the AL wild card in 2015.The switch-hitting Beltran, who turns 40 in April, was the top player in the deadline-selling Yankees lackluster offense this past season before being traded to the?Texas Rangers?on Aug. 1 for?right-hander Dillon Tate and two other pitching prospects.He led the Yankees with a .304 batting average, 22 homers and 64 RBIs, and he finished the year with 29 homers, 93 RBIs and 163 hits. He?split his time as a designated hitter and right fielder.The nine-time All-Star signed a $45 million, three-year contract before the 2014 season but played with an elbow bone spur during much of his first season in New York and got off to a slow start in 2015 following surgery.Beltran was traded from Kansas City to Houston in June 2004, and he hit a record-tying eight homers in 12 games during the NL playoffs while batting .435 with 14 RBIs.He also was traded from the New York Mets to San Francisco in July 2011. While he has appeared in the playoffs with the Astros, Mets, Cardinals, Yankees and Rangers, Beltran remains in search of his first World Series title.Beltran has a .281 career average with 414 home runs.Led by middle infielders Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa and ace Dallas Keuchel, the Astros ended a decade-long playoff drought -- and reversed a four-year span in which they averaged well over 100 losses -- by winning the AL wild card in 2015. Expected to be a championship contender this year, Houston instead went 84-78 and missed the playoffs.The Astros have been busy since then, signing Reddick to a $52 million, four-year deal after he finished the season with the Dodgers and getting McCann, a seven-time All-Star, in a trade with the Yankees. The Astros got $11 million from the Yankees to help cover the $34 million total hes set to make in the next two seasons.Along with his production on the field, Beltran has long been praised for his clubhouse influence and leadership, especially among young teammates. Beltran also runs an academy back home in Puerto Rico, where students focus on academics as well as athletics.The Associated Press contributed to this report. Albert Pujols .

The latest UK-based apprentice to travel to Victoria for a summer riding stint will hit the city arena in Melbourne for the first time when he rides at Sandown.English apprentice Patrick Paddy Pilley started a three-month loan with Flemington trainer Nigel Blackiston a couple of weeks ago and has already registered a winner at Geelong aboard Surge Ahead for trainer Vincent Malady.The 19-year-old will ride the Blackiston-trained Sonsee Array and Amortise on Wednesday.Pilley rode both horses in their most recent starts while on Sunday he was aboard the Blackiston-trained Amarela who finished fourth in the Listed Kilmore Cup.The trainer said he could not have asked for more from that ride.Hes ridden a winner, a couple of placings and if you watch his ride in the Kilmore Cup on my mare, it was a fantastic run, Blackiston said.From the outside barrier, to get home and run fourth it was a beautiful ride.Hes a very good horseman, typical of those European styles the way hes been taught.Hes a very capable young man and claims two kilos in the country and in the metropolitan area.Oisin Murphy had a successful summer stint in Melbourne with trainer Danny OBrien in 2013/14.Murphy, now the retained rider in Britain for Qatar Racing, rode a feature race winner for Blackiiston during that time aboard Outback Joe in the Bagot Handicap on New Years day.dddddddddddd.Blackiston said a recommendation from Murphy led to Pilleys stint with his stable.Kieran Shoemark is another who has had summer stints in Melbourne, while last summer Tom Marquand made his mark when he spent a few weeks with the Lindsay Park team.Pilley had his first Australian ride on six-year-old Amortise who finished sixth in a benchmark 64 (1400m) at Bendigo on November 9 at his first start for 12 months.Amortise steps to 1800m in the Polytrack Handicap while three-year-old filly Sonsee Array chases a maiden win in the Moorookyle Park Stud Plate (1800m) after making ground when fourth in a 1600m maiden at Moe last start.Blackiston also has Itchikoo Park in that race.I thought it was a nice run from Amortise first-up and he can take good benefit from that but he will improve more with another run under his belt, Blackiston said.Sonsee Array, I thought her run was excellent the other day on an unsuitable sort of track at Moe. She got around the turns and finished off strongly.I think the extra distance will suit her down to the ground. ' ' '
