The specifics of the agreement, including a $15 million signing bonus pending MLB approval, have not been officially disclosed. Altuve, a renowned eight-time All-Star and former AL MVP, was set to become a free agent after the upcoming baseball season.

Despite injury setbacks last season, Altuve maintained impressive performance, boasting a .311 batting average along with 15 home runs, 51 RBIs, and 14 stolen bases in 90 games.
