Who is the highest-paid second baseman in baseball? José Altuve tops the list in 2024
José Altuve was 10 months from free agency.
But instead of hitting free agency, the Astros gave the eight-time All-Star a five-year, $125 million extension that will keep him in Houston until he is 39 years old.
“Houston is my home,” he said.
Altuve is in the final year of a seven-year, $163.5 million deal that made him the highest-paid second baseman the past two years.
Altuve's deal also raises his career earnings above $300 million, the most among second basemen.
