Altuve get huge contract!

[jimmer]

Title of the topic should read 'Altuve gets a huge contract.'. Distracted typing is bad typing, especially when you're a bad typist to begin with :-)

 

ANYWAY:

 

Altuve's years of great play got hugely rewarded today when he received a 5/151 contract from the Astros.

 

Very happy for him and kudos to the Astros for stepping up and getting that done.

That's good for Dozier if not the Twins.

Wowzers.

Surprising that it doesn't replace any of the years left on his super cheap contract. Won't get to test free agency again until he is 35.

Effectively signed for seven years... Guess long term deals still exist for the top players
