Good morning.
- Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is going to be in Houston for a long time as he has agreed to a five-year, $151 million extension with the team. The extension does not start until 2020, locking the reigning AL MVP up through 2024.
- Jerome Solomon believes that the Astros got a bargain in Altuve, for his contributions on- and off-the-field. He calls Altuve a “Houston legend” and that the media should talk more about how great he is.
- A more analytic analysis comes from Craig Edwards, and he thinks Altuve’s extension is fair for both sides.
