After a disappointing playoff exit, the Houston Astros held a meeting to reassess their offensive strategy. Manager Joe Espada and General Manager Dana Brown emphasized the need for hitters to be more patient and selective, particularly early in counts. The Astros have struggled with chase rates and aggression, leading to a focus on improving plate discipline.

Brown indicated that retaining Alex Bregman is a top priority, as his hitting style aligns with the desired approach. The team may also seek to add selective hitters, particularly in the outfield and first base positions, to enhance their offensive balance.
