The Houston Astros want to keep Jose Altuve in their long-term plans, which would involve signing him to a new contract extension, according to a report.
Next season is the final year of Altuve's current contract.
The second baseman isn't the only important member of the roster that is nearing free agency. Alex Bregman will also be a free agent after the 2024 season, while Ryan Pressly could also hit the open market as he and the Astros share a $14 million mutual option for 2025.
Justin Verlander could also be a free agent if he doesn't pitch at least 140 innings next season.
