    Altuve is a consummate professional, and I hope he retires an Astro.

    "We can't afford both Altuve/Correa!"
    "Good luck paying both guys"
    etc. etc. etc.

    As I've said all along, Crane and Luhnow will eventually have a top 5 payroll. Contracts start falling off around 2020. Correa will get his extension next year or in 2020 for like 250 million.

    What a deal tho! Love it and he's getting dat money! #ALTUVEFORLYFE

    Altuve an Astro through 2025, need confirmation tho! Amazing if this is the case. IMO ensures our contention for the next 7 years at least. WOW.

    Fantastic move. Let Correa knew we’ll take of him AND keep Altuve through his prime.

    Next year or in 2020, throw 10 years (300 million) at Correa and say GL MLB :cool:

    So does that mean we have him through 2023 or 2025? Does it add on to the deal he has now or replace it?
