Aiken's agent, Casey Close, got all emotional and blasted the Astros near the end and they wouldn't even talk to the Astros in the last couple of days before the deadline. Same Casey Close who blasted the Orioles this past offseason because they leaked negotiations with Dexter Fowler, who ended up with the Cubs on a 1-year deal instead of the 3 the Orioles offered.

Anyway, Aiken and Close felt the Astros should have honored their original offer despite the UCL diagnosis. Two other players, Jacob Nix and Mac Marshall, couldn't sign over-slot deals with the Astros in that draft, either, because the Astros' allotted draft money pool shrunk once they didn't sign Aiken. Close represented both Aiken and Nix.
