I’m so happy for this man. Jose Altuve debuted in 2011 and endured 3 straight 100-loss seasons. He’s the face of the cheating scandal and gets so much hate even though he didn’t actively participate in it. He’s endured the good and the bad in Houston. He deserves this.

Yordan Alvarez was the heart and soul of this Astros team all year. Their best player all season. It's only fitting that he had the two biggest hits of the postseason. One to start it and one to finish it. The Astros wouldn't be where they are right now without him.

He hasn’t officially announced his retirement but it is likely that Zack Greinke just made his last career start. 5 scoreless innings is fitting for one of the best pitchers of this generation. No-doubt Hall of Famer.

One MLB executive on an ESPN panel predicts Shohei Ohtani to sign an 11-year, $605 million contract. That’s $55 million a year, and would shatter the record for the largest contract in American sports history. He would likely make close to $100 million a year with endorsements.
