Jose Altuve Signs Contract with Houston Astros
Seven-Year, $163.5 Million Deal
Highest-Paid Second Baseman in MLB
Jose Altuve has signed a seven-year, $163.5 million contract with the Houston Astros. The deal includes a $21 million signing bonus and makes Altuve the highest-paid second baseman in Major League Baseball.
Altuve is a six-time All-Star and has won three Silver Sluggers and five Gold Glove Awards. He is also the 2017 AL MVP and has helped the Astros win two World Series titles. In 2022, he batted .300 with 28 home runs and 103 RBIs.
The Astros are hoping that Altuve can continue to be a key part of their team for years to come. He is one of the most popular players in the league and is a fan favorite in Houston.
Altuve's signing is a major boost for the Astros, who are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2022 season. The team missed the playoffs after winning the World Series in 2021. With Altuve locked up for the next seven years, the Astros have a solid foundation to build upon.
