Jose Altuve officially signed his new contract extension a while back. You can find this author’s financial breakdown of the contract here. The Astros were wise to sign him to a contract extension now despite the risks that are inherent with long-term commitments of this magnitude.
The pressing question now becomes whether Altuve ages well into this new contract. While the extension currently looks dandy from both sides and may stay that way throughout the term duration, there does lie risks. For example, skills can deteriorate faster than expected. Altuve’s calling card has been primarily based on contact and speed.
