Reflecting on his journey with the Astros, Altuve remarked, “I’ve been through a lot with this team. We’ve had highs, we’ve had lows, but one thing that has never changed is the support from the fans and the organisation. I’m proud to be an Astro, and I want to finish my career here. Together, we’ll keep chasing more championships for this great city.”
The Astros organisation was quick to respond to Altuve’s declaration, with General Manager Dana Brown expressing his gratitude for the star player’s unwavering loyalty. “José has been the heart of this team for many years, and knowing that he’s committed to finishing his career with the Astros is a huge boost for our future. He’s a leader both on and off the field, and we’re thrilled to have him as a cornerstone of this franchise for years to come.”
