Star CF Signs Extension with Houston: George Springer might be greedy, but there’s no disputing his talent. The hotshot center fielder will pocket $135,000,000 after re-signing with the Astros earlier today, and will hang around another 5 years.
Some more financially prudent fans worried that the signing would burden the club down the road and might prevent it from being competitive, though many others were simply thankful that Springer didn’t bolt.
For the season, Springer is hitting at a .281 clip with 6 home runs, 20 RBIs and has scored 24 runs. He has 34 hits, 21 walks and a .397 on-base percentage.
