The Houston Astros face a pivotal offseason following their unexpected exit from the ALCS, leading to potential payroll cuts and tough roster decisions.
Star player Alex Bregman is set to hit free agency, raising concerns about his future with the team. In-house options like Shay Whitcomb and Zach Dezenzo could step up if he departs.
The Astros also need to bolster their bullpen, with potential trade interest in Jason Adam from the San Diego Padres, who has shown exceptional performance recently.
