In what local scribes are hailing as a huge move for the team’s future, the Astros inked a $64,000,000 deal with catcher Willson Contreras.
Team officials expect Contreras to fill an immediate void on the roster and felt the deal would solidify them as a playoff contender.
Over his 775-game career Contreras has compiled a .259 batting average and collected 691 hits, 126 home runs and 422 RBIs.
