i heard it was a 2 year 18.5 million deal right when he signed...did he re do his contract?

 

The team has a $9 million option for the 2005 season with a $700,000 buyout.

Big difference.

Kent signed a 2 year deal with a team option for year 3.

That gives the astro s flexibility in deciding to keep him or not down the road with him being 35 already.
