The Houston Astros have signed first baseman Christian Walker to a three-year, $60 million contract as they address their corner infield needs. Walker expressed mutual interest in joining the Astros, highlighting their competitive spirit and winning culture as key factors in his decision.

With a solid track record, including three Gold Glove awards and impressive offensive stats, Walker aims to stabilize a position that struggled last season. The Astros hope he can replicate his success while contributing to a lineup that may see changes with other key players potentially leaving.
