Alright, listen up, folks. Let’s talk about this Yordan Alvarez fella and his money doings with the Houston Astros. They call it a “contract,” you know, like when you promise to do somethin’ and they promise to pay ya. Well, this boy, Yordan, he got himself a big ol’ promise.
They’re sayin’ he signed for six years, and for all that time, they gotta give him 115 million dollars! Can you believe that? 115 million! That’s more money than I ever seen in my whole life, piled up higher than a haystack, I bet.
Now, they didn’t just give him all that money at once, no sir. They gonna spread it out. Kinda like butter on bread, you know? First off, they gave him somethin’ called a “signing bonus.” That’s like a little extra treat, just for puttin’ his name on that paper. Five million dollars, they say! Just for writin’ his name! Must be some fancy writin’, that’s all I gotta say.
- Year 2025: He gets a cool 15 million just for showin’ up and doin’ his job.
- Total Salary 2025: Then they add a little more on top, makin’ it 15 million and some change.
This whole deal, they say it keeps him with the Astros ’til 2028. That’s a long time, ain’t it? He gonna be swingin’ that bat for them for years to come. Makes you wonder what he was gettin’ before all this, huh? Well, lemme tell ya.
Back in 2021, he got somethin’ like 609,000 dollars for the whole year. Then, in 2022, they bumped it up to 764,600. That’s still a heap of money, mind you, but nothin’ like this 115 million! He musta been doin’ somethin’ right, that boy.
Guaranteed Money: Now, here’s the kicker. They say all that 115 million is “guaranteed.” That means they gotta pay him, no matter what. Even if he breaks a leg, or his swingin’ arm goes wonky, they gotta give him that money. That’s some security, ain’t it?
Annual Salary: If you do the math, and I ain’t much for math, but they tell me he’s makin’ somethin’ like 19 million dollars a year on average. Nineteen million! Just for playin’ ball. Makes your head spin, don’t it?
He’s signed through 2028, so they ain’t lettin’ him go nowhere. He’s stuck with the Astros, and they stuck with him. Sounds like a good deal for both of ’em, if you ask me.
This all started back when the Astros got him from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Traded some pitcher named Josh Fields for him, they did. Guess they knew what they were doin’, huh? This Yordan fella, he’s worth a lot more than that now, that’s for sure.
So, there you have it. The story of Yordan Alvarez and his big ol’ contract with the Houston Astros. He’s set for life, that boy. And the Astros, well, they got themselves a player. Hope he’s worth all that money, is all I gotta say.
