Jose Altuve Signs Lucrative Contract Extension with Houston Astros
Astros Second Baseman Secures Third Multi-Year Deal
Five-Year, $125 Million Agreement Announced Tuesday
The Houston Astros and star second baseman Jose Altuve have agreed to a five-year contract extension worth $125 million, according to multiple reports. The deal, which covers the 2025-29 seasons, marks Altuve's third multi-year contract with the Astros.
Altuve, 33, is entering the final year of a seven-year contract extension he signed in 2019. He is a six-time All-Star and Silver Slugger, and has led the American League in hits four times.
The new contract is a significant investment by the Astros in Altuve, who is one of the most productive players in baseball. He has a career batting average of .307 with 1,997 hits and 548 stolen bases.
Altuve has been a key part of the Astros' success in recent years. He helped the team win the World Series in 2017 and was named the American League Championship Series Most Valuable Player that year.
The Astros are hoping that Altuve will continue to be a productive player for years to come. He is a fan favorite and a key part of the team's core. The new contract extension gives the Astros some certainty at second base for the next five seasons.
