HOUSTON – Ryan Pressly has signed a two-year contract extension worth $30 million, a league source confirmed to KRPC 2 Sports.

Pressly’s extension will cover the 2023 and 2024 seasons for the Astros closer, who has been one of the top closers in baseball since he took over the role from Roberto Osuna.
