The Houston Astros have extended the contract of A.J. Hinch ahead of the 2016 season.

Hinch guided the Astros to their first postseason appearance in 10 seasons last year.

Astros owner Jim Crane didn't divulge any details of the deal, but told MLB.com that Hinch "will be here a while."

The Houston Chronicle reported early Tuesday that Hinch had received a revised contract in the offseason that included more money and a longer term.
