The Venezuelan second baseman had a fantastic season, batting .311 with 112 hits and hitting 17 home runs.
He still has one season remaining on his 7-year, $163.5 million contract he signed in 2018, which means he won’t enter free agency until 2025. However, due to his exceptional performance in the postseason, there is already talk of a possible contract renewal.
Scott Boras, a prominent player agent in Major League Baseball, has shed some light on the situation for the player born in Maracay, Venezuela.
Scott Boras said the Astros have expressed a desire to extend Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman, but there have been no discussions yet.
