The Houston Astros face a pivotal offseason after their earliest playoff exit in eight years. With key players heading to free agency, General Manager Dana Brown emphasizes a commitment to roster improvement.
The outfield's performance was underwhelming, particularly due to injuries to Kyle Tucker and Yordan Alvarez. Tucker showed promise before his injury, while Chas McCormick struggled significantly, leading to questions about the center field position.
Contract situations for Tucker, Jake Meyers, and McCormick add complexity to the Astros' plans, as they weigh potential extensions and free agency. The team also has promising prospects in the outfield, which could influence their strategy moving forward.
