José Altuve, Houston’s Little Big Man, Gets Hefty Contract Extension

 The shortest man in the major leagues is getting a contract extension that belies his size.

The Houston Astros announced Tuesday they have given second baseman and leadoff man José Altuve a five-year, $125 million guarantee that extends through 2029.

He’ll earn a $26 million for 2024 under a previous contract that would have expired after this season.

It’s the third extension for Altuve, who has spent his entire career with the Astros.
