The Houston Astros and Yordan Alvarez have agreed to terms on a 6 year, $115 million contract extension, per reports. The extension covers the period from 2023-28, and buys out three free agent years at $26 million per year, per Jeff Passan.
Alvarez, who turns 25 next month, has been one of the best hitters in baseball since debuting in 2019, when he was named the American League Rookie of the Year. Alvarez has a career .287/.370/.576 slash line, and is slashing .272/.367/.574 this year.
Alvarez is not yet arbitration eligible, and is making $764,600 in 2022.
