Weeks before his MLB debut, the White Sox sign Luis Robert to a long-term contract extension. Just days after the 2021 World Series, the Rays extended Wander Franco for more than a decade (11 years). Even though the Astros are not used to doing these kind of moves, they could consider making an exception with Yordan Álvarez not now, not tomorrow, but soon.
Álvarez will be under team’s control until the 2025 season, but time doesn’t stop and Yordan doesn’t stop improving either. The unanimous 2019 Rookie of the Year could get more expensive as years go by and, recently, with the universal designated hitter, more room for him was created in the MLB.
