Ballpark Digest - which is legit - is reporting that Jim Crane/Astros are in negotiations to purchase the New Orleans Zephyrs for "north of" $20m and then moving them to Montgomery County.
While they're at it, they're also reporting that the Astros are looking to join forces with the Blue Jays to share a Spring Training facility in Palm Beach County (where, if you remember, Crane owns a big ol' golf course).
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
