Astros owner won't confirm Clemens' return

The Houston Astros owner is denying media reports that Roger Clemens has signed a one-year deal with his team.

Some news agencies, including ESPN.com and Newsday, are reporting this afternoon that Clemens has chosen the Houston Astros over other suitors, who include the Boston Red Sox.

Projo.com's sister site, khou.com in Houston, spoke to the Astros' owner, Drayton McLane, who would not confirm this afternoon that a deal exists.

McLane said he's waiting to hear back from the former Red Sox pitching ace and his agents regarding a return to the Astros.
