Offseason Outlook: Houston Astros
The Astros won the American League West this year but mostly due to the historic weakness of the division. On the whole, it was a disappointing season and change is in the air. There will be a new front office leader and new manager for 2027. It’s possible the roster sees significant turnover as well.
