The Houston Astros continue to dominate Major League Baseball, eyeing their eighth consecutive ALCS appearance in 2024 with a powerful roster. Stars like Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, and Yordan Alvarez form the backbone of the team, while emerging talents like Ronel Blanco and Hunter Brown provide additional strength.

Marwin Gonzalez, often considered a utility player, had a standout 2017 season that helped propel the Astros to a championship, but his performance has not been matched since. His remarkable season raised eyebrows, particularly amidst scrutiny over the team's sign-stealing scandal.
