看完這 contract...原來 MLB 還有所謂的佛心合約
不過如果是在 Boras 手下..會不會事情就不一樣了?

Astros Extend Jose Altuve
Diminutive second baseman Jose Altuve already has “his face on the side of
the stadium,” explains Astros GM Jeff Luhnow, and now has the contract to
support his status as the team’s biggest attraction. Altuve agreed today to
an extension that will guarantee him $12.5MM over the next four years and
includes two club options for the 2018 and 2019 seasons ($6MM and $6.5MM,
respectively). In addition to buying out Altuve’s remaining pre-arbitration
season and all of his arbitration years, the Astros now control the
23-year-old Altuve for his first two free agent-eligible seasons.
Altuve, a client of Octagon since leaving the Boras Corporation in May, has
held down the club's regular second base job since last year. Altuve emerged
last year with a .290/.340/.399 line and 33 stolen bases over a full season
of 630 plate appearances. He has failed to maintain quite that pace so far
this season, however, as he currently sports a .280/.317/.354 line in 380
plate appearances. Altuve has swiped another 21 bags thus far in 2013,
though, and advanced defensive metrics peg him as a stable, if unspectacular,
presence at the keystone.
