After the offseason started a little slow for the Houston Astros, things sure have picked up in recent weeks. First, the Astros signed closer Josh Hader to a 5-year, $95 million deal.

And now, the Astros pulled the trigger on a contract the fan base has been waiting on for months.

The Astros and Jose Altuve have agreed to a 5-year contract extension.

Chandler Rome is reporting that the extension will go into effect next season.

Wait to go Jim Crane, and go Astros!
