It looks like the Astros will be extending one of their players after all, as FanSided’s Robert Murray reports that the club has come to terms with closer Ryan Pressly on a two-year extension, with the possibility of it ultimately being a three-year pact:
As Murray notes in a subsequent tweet, the $15 million AAV makes Pressly one of the top five highest paid relievers in baseball.
The All-Star reliever became the Astros’ closer in 2020 and has accumulated 38 saves in 44 opportunities since, including a 26-of-28 conversion ratio in 2021, when Pressly was selected to the All-Star team for the second time in his career.
