Jose Altuve must know more about Scott Boras' negotiating skills than Blake Snell, Jordon Montgomery, Cody Bellinger and Matt Chapman. Altuve, 33, was the rare Scott Boras client to sign an extension rather than test the market the last time he was approaching free agency. Now he's done it again. The contract will pay Altuve $30 million a year from 2025-27, $25 million in 2028, and $10 million in 2029. The front-loaded contract means Altuve's salaries will be lowest when he's likely deepest into his decline. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/jose-altuve-contract-astros-sign-star-second-baseman-to-five-year-125-million-extension/
