Houston Astros: Team to receive a hefty payout for the 2019 postseason

The Houston Astros postseason dropped with a loud thud in Game 7 but they still receive a hefty payout for participating in the postseason. How much?

HoustonAstrosfans — we’re in the midst of the offseason and it’ll be interesting to see where this franchise is headed in terms of setting themselves up to compete for another World Series title in 2020.

The expectations have been set that they will, especially with the majority of the core set to return for another season. As you know,Jose Altuve,Alex Bregman,Carlos Correa,Yuli GurrielandMichael Brantleyare all locked-in and good to go.

The biggest question is how much HoustonAstroscenter fielderGeorge Springerwill make this season. He could receive an arbitrated salary of an estimated $21.4 million for 2020 or they could hammer out a long-term deal to spread his money out over a longer period of time.

Regardless, there’s no question he’ll be here for 2020 but it’s a matter of how much he can make,

which can be a complicated process if both sides don’t agree on the amount that should be awarded.

That’ll be a development we’ll have to keep an eye on and we’ll know something in the coming weeks.

Gerrit Coleis likely as good as gone with him wanting to maximize his payday elsewhere but if there’s a miracle solution that the HoustonAstroscan put together, I’d be all for bringing him back.

The HoustonAstroshave already started to targetZack Wheeleras a replacement but I don’t see they shouldn’t haveHyun-Jin Ryu, who was runner-up for the NLCy YoungAward in their crosshairs as well.

But as the nuances of the winter season come into effect, the HoustonAstrosare going to receive a nice payout for their performance in the postseason.

Here’s what MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart had to report on the latest payout:

This means that the HoustonAstroswill receive $19.1 million for their deep run in the

postseason, all the way to Game 7 against the Washington Nationals.

It’s fathomable that each player that was on the roster for each of the three playoff series will receive a full share and those who weren’t will receive at least a partial share or cash award. I’m positive that the money is also split between the staff as well.

Who knows? We might see some of our favorite players share on social media what they plan to do with their bonus. There’s no telling what we’ll see next.

It’s good to see the players compensated for their hard work and let’s hope that this team can make a great run next season as well.

Let’s hope for the best — go HoustonAstros!
