Coming off of a clutch performance in Oakland, Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez has agreed to a 6-year $115 million extension with Houston as first reported by ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Yordan Álvarez's six-year, $115M deal with the Astros is the fourth biggest ever for a player who has yet to reach arbitration, behind only Fernando Tatis Jr. (14/340), Buster Posey (8/159) and Mike Trout (6/144.5). Álvarez, 24, is one of the best hitters in MLB. Deserves it.

We look at what Flagg’s arrival in Dallas means for the Rockets’ rebuild timeline, and whether Houston has the star power to keep pace. Could Giannis actually head to Texas — but not to H-Town?
