Altuve is the only Boras client that has the balls to keep him in check.

I'm shocked Altuve cost that much. But hell to the yeah.

So I guess that means 2029 will be the farewell tour?

I'm good with 6 more seasons of Jose.

He's going to need to average close to 160 hits per season though to reach 3,000. He needs 953

for comparison...

Miguel Cabrera made $30 MM and $32 MM for his dreadful age 38 and 39 seasons

(we'll skip his age 40 season)

Cabrera was super out of shape though in those seasons. Hopefully Jose stays slimmed down

Just loft up 1 year deals as long as he wants to play and can maintain the level

Curious as to what the going rate should have been? I know you look at a lot of stats that would probably factor into that line of thinking? Something like 5 years 100 mill?

That's not including road jerseys or all star game jerseys or any of the other playoff jerseys that could have been purchased. Not to mention Altuve's rookie jersey is from the brick red and black logo era.

This was a timely article. Couldn't read it, but the tag certainly was timely.

Someone other than me should read it and let us know what it says about Tucker.

Just looked it up. Last year hurt, but if he can stay healthy and play 140 games a year, it's about average for him. Especially since he averages another 14ish hits each post season in the playoffs on top of it.

People also forget he lost almost a full season worth of hits to Covid.

I'm not sure King Tuck or Bregman make sense. You can buy a lot of good talent and restock the farm system for less than $500M-$600M.

I'm at the ball fields with my middle kiddo. But I'd guess this is probably the richest contract given to someone entering his age 34 season.

It's not what I expected but this must have been what my guy was referring to when he said something was coming in the next few days. I ain't complaining if true.

Altuve's extension actually adds a little bit to his future AAV. I was hoping we could save a little. But happy we got him signed.

Last memory of Jose -1.040 OPS in the ALCS
Last memory of Kyle - combined 1.029 (.508 and .521) OPS in the ALDS and ALCS.

Love Tuck, but not great wanting that big extension when you failed over and over again in a 7-game series.

Already posted, but seems ok to say it again - I literally love Jose Altuve.

I probably have 20+ signed Larry Anderson cards. Seemed like he would always get some people every game. My dad was down on the railing with me one game with my baby sister (probably 3ish). He came over, signed my card and got my sister from my dad and carried her onto the field to meet like 10 players. She doesn't remember it of course but I remember being so damn jealous of her for years.

Love signing Jose. The deal is fair on both sides. What is interesting to me is how much longer he can play 2B. Now that he has his money and doesn't have the pressure of searching for a deal, he could theoretically start moving to another position anytime. Wouldn't mind him getting time in LF next season, maybe even some this season to get Dubon time at 2B.

Obviously your weaker fielders can play left, but does Altuve honestly have the arm for the outfield?
