The contract extension puts Pressly, 33, in the top-5 highest paid relievers in baseball in terms of AAV and is the largest contract ever for an Astros reliever. Pressly is represented by Scott Lonergan of the Ballengee Group.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic confirmed the news.

Pressly, 33, went 5-3 with a 2.25 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 64 innings last year. He struck out 81 batters while walking just 13 en route to 26 saves.
