As of now, there is no verified information indicating that Houston Astros star José Altuve has declined an offer from the Miami Marlins or any other team. Altuve has been a cornerstone of the Astros since his MLB debut in 2011, and he reaffirmed his commitment to Houston by signing a five-year, \$125 million contract extension in February 2024, keeping him with the team through the 2029 season .([AP News][1])
In recent developments, the Astros have been experimenting with Altuve in left field, a position he has rarely played in his career. This move is part of the team’s strategy to accommodate new acquisitions and possibly to keep veteran players like Yordan Álvarez more focused on hitting duties .([reddit.com][2])
If there were any credible reports about Altuve turning down an offer from the Marlins or any other team, they have not been substantiated by major sports news outlets at this time.
