José Altuve's Reported 5-Year, $125M Contract Extension Celebrated by MLB Fans

José Altuve is critical to the success of the Houston Astros, and now he won't be going anywhere for a long time.

Altuve and the Astros agreed to a five-year, $125 million contract extension on Tuesday, according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman. The franchise announced the news and posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he would be an "Astro for life."

The 33-year-old has spent his entire 13-year in Houston, winning two World Series titles, an American League MVP award, a Gold Glove and three batting titles to go along with eight All-Star selections and six Silver Slugger awards.

Altuve continued to perform at a high level in 2023 despite suffering multiple injuries, including a fractured thumb at the World Baseball Classic. He slashed .311/.393/.522 with 17 home runs, 51 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 90 games.

Now that he's locked up, he'll continue to be a key member of the team's lineup alongside Yordan Alvarez and Alex Bregman, and fans couldn't be more excited that he's sticking around for the long haul:

With Altuve locked up for the foreseeable future, the Astros figure to be World Series contenders for years to come.

Houston as the best odds to win the AL West in 2024 at +115, per DraftKings Sportsbook. They also have the best odds to win the AL at +400 and the third-best World Series odds at +800.
