HOUSTON (AP) — Hard-throwing reliever Josh Hader and the Houston Astros finalized a $95 million, five-year contract on Monday.
Hader will get a $19 million salary in each of the next five seasons, none of it deferred.
He gets a full no-trade provision and would receive a $1 million bonus for winning the Mariano Rivera/Trevor Hoffman Reliever of the Year Award.
Houston reached the agreement three days after announcing reliever Kendall Graveman will miss the season after right shoulder surgery.
Because Hader turned down a qualifying offer, San Diego will receive an extra pick in next July’s amateur draft.
