Houston, TX – In a move that has left the sports world and fans in tears, Houston Astros star Jeremy Peña has announced that he will donate the entire $35 million from his new contract to charities and the homeless. The move is not only a shock to the baseball world, but also a living testament to the kindness that goes beyond talent on the field.
Peña, 26, is known for his versatility and relentless fighting spirit, but he has now proven that greatness is not measured by home runs or statistics alone. At a press conference this afternoon in Houston, he shared, his voice trembling but full of determination:
“Money is only worth it when it helps those who need it most. I want to use this opportunity to make a real difference.”

These organizations immediately expressed their gratitude: “Jeremy Peña has not only changed the lives of thousands of people, but has inspired our entire community,” said a representative of one organization.
Peña’s story becomes even more touching when looking back at his journey from a baseball-loving Houston boy to the MLB star he is today. Over the years, Peña has seen hardships, families struggling, and children lacking access to education, and it is those experiences that have shaped his decision to give to this special charity.
“I have never seen a player make me cry with emotion like this,” said fan Mary Lopez. “Peña’s actions make us believe that baseball is more than just a game, it is a bridge between people.”
