Pressly agreed to a two-year, $30 million contract extension with the Astros on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Pressly is under contract for 2022 after his $10 million option vested in September, and he's now reached a new deal with the Astros for at least two more years. The extension also includes a $14 million option for a third year, which includes a $2 million buyout that will vest if he makes at least 50 appearances in both 2023 and 2024, per Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle. The 33-year-old has been dominant since being acquired from Minnesota in 2018 and has a 2.21 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 214:35 K:BB over 162.2 innings for Houston. Pressly went 26-for-28 in save opportunities during 2021 and will work as the Astros' closer again this year.
