←  2023 Seasons

The 2024 Houston Astros season is the 63rd season for the Houston Astros, a Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise located in Houston, Texas, their 60th as the Astros, 12th in both the American League and American League West, and 25th at Minute Maid Park. They enter the season as the defending AL West champions and runners-up of the American League.

Contents

On April 1, pitcher Ronel Blanco threw the 17th no hitter in Astros history against the Blue Jays. It was also the earliest date a no hitter has been thrown in MLB history. More history was also made as the no-hitter marked manager Joe Espada's first career managerial win, the first such occurrence in MLB history where a manager got his first win with a no-hitter.

Offseason

October 2023

The Houston Astros finished the 2023 season as runner up for the American League pennant behind the defending champion Texas Rangers.

[1]

On October 25, it was announced that Dusty Baker would retire as manager of the Astros. The Astros posted a 320–226 (.586) record with Baker as the manager, winning a World Series (2022) and two pennants (2021, 2022). [2]

The following day, the team officially announced that they had signed catcher Víctor Caratini to a two year contract worth $12 million. [5]

January 2024

On January 16, the team announced that reliever Kendall Graveman was set to miss the entire 2024 season after undergoing surgery on his shoulder. [6]

Six days later, on January 22, the team announced that they had signed left-handed pitcher Josh Hader to a five year contract worth $95 million. [7]

On January 31, the Astros acquired Trey Cabbage from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for minor league pitcher Carlos Espinosa. [8]
