The Houston Astros have been a dominant force in Major League Baseball over the past decade, achieving significant success even after the 2017 cheating scandal. Despite their recent wild-card exit, the Astros have reached the ALCS seven times since 2017, securing two championships.
As they look to maintain competitiveness, Astros GM Dana Brown emphasizes the need to replenish their minor-league system while developing young talent. Key players like Kyle Tucker and Yordan Alvarez have emerged as stars, but the future of third baseman Alex Bregman remains uncertain as he enters free agency.
The Astros' pitching depth is crucial for their continued success, with young arms like Hunter Brown and Framber Valdez expected to lead the rotation. Owner Jim Crane is committed to winning, indicating that the organization will adapt as necessary to keep their championship window open.
