  2024 Seasons

The 2025 Houston Astros season will be the 64th season for the (MLB) franchise located in Houston, Texas, their 62nd as the Astros, 13th in both the American League (AL) and AL West division, and 26th at Daikin Park, with this being the first season under the stadium's new name after formerly being named "Minute Maid Park". They will enter the season as the defending American League West champions, winners of four consecutive division titles, and entrants into eight consecutive postseasons, a franchise record and the second-longest active postseason streak in MLB.

Left-handed pitcher Billy Wagner was elected as one of the five honorees to the Baseball Hall of Fame, becoming the third player to be elected into the Hall as a member of the Astros, and the eleventh Astro overall.

Offseason

Summary

The Houston Astros enter the 2025 season as defending American League (AL) West champions, their fourth consecutive division title, seventh AL West title, and 14th division title in franchise history, including those won as former members of the National League (NL) West and NL Central divisions. Further, it was the ninth season in the previous 10 in which they had qualified for the Major League Baseball (MLB) postseason, and franchise-record eighth consecutive. [1]

In the 2024 AL Wild Card Series (WCS), the Detroit Tigers swept the best-of-3 set, ending Houston's postseason after two games. [2] The WCS defeat halted Houston's record-setting streak of American League Championship Series (ALCS) qualifications at seven (20172023)—the longest in AL history—and the second-longest consecutive LCS appearances after the Atlanta Braves' streak of eight National League Championship Series (NLCS) from 1991 to 1999. [a] [3]

October—November 2024

On October 14, 2024, it was announced that the Astros would not renew the contract of third base coach Gary Pettis for the 2025 season, concluding a 10-year period with the club. [4] On October 24, the Astros hired Tony Perezchica to succeed Pettis, and to assume roles as infield coach and run prevention coordinator. [5]

Following the 2024 World Series, eight Astros, including Alex Bregman, Caleb Ferguson, Ben Gamel, Kendall Graveman, Jason Heyward, Yusei Kikuchi, Héctor Neris, and Justin Verlander each became eligible to elect free agency and did so. [6] On November 4, the Astros designated right-handers José Urquidy and Oliver Ortega for assignment. Entering his final arbitration season, Urquidy appeared in 79 games and 70 starts for the Astros, going 27–16 wins–losses and 3.98 earned run average (ERA) over 405 innings pitched, and three additional World Series contests won. [7]

The Astros announced on November 18 that Minute Maid Park was to be renamed Daikin Park the following January 1 as result of a new naming-rights sponsorship with Daikin Industries, Ltd., with corresponding changes to the stadium. This partnership between the Astros and Daikin covered the next 15 seasons through 2039. [8]

December 2024—January 2025

On December 13, 2024, the Astros completed one of the most significant trades in franchise history, sending three-time All-Star, Silver Slugger and Gold Glove Award winner Kyle Tucker to the Chicacgo Cubs for infielder Isaac Paredes, pitcher Hayden Wesneski, and third base prospect Cam Smith. [9] Ten days later, the Astros signed free agent first baseman Christian Walker to 3-year, $60 million contract, winner of three consecutive Gold Glove Awards, and had slashed .250/.332/.481 over the prior three seasons. [10]

Left-handed pitcher Billy Wagner was elected as one five inductees for 2025 to the Baseball Hall of Fame in his tenth and final year of Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) eligibility. Having played nine of his 16 major league seasons in a Houston uniform, Wagner joined his former teammates Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell as the third player to have spent the majority of his career as a member of the Astros to be elected to the Hall of Fame. His 225 saves while with the Astros remained the most in franchise history at the time of induction. [11]

In a separate transaction with the Cubs at the end of January, the Astros swapped postseason saves leader Ryan Pressly for minor league pitcher Juán Bello. [12]

Spring training

The Astros' opening spring training contests occurred on February 22, 2025, with two split-squad games featured in Grapefruit League play, the first of 30 total. One was a home game at Cacti Park of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, Florida, versus the Washington Nationals—with whom they share Cacti Park—and the other took place on the road against the New York Mets at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie. The Astros conclude spring training with two exhibition contests against their Triple-A affiliate, Sugar Land Space Cowboys, on March 24 and 25, at Daikin Park. [48]

The Astros began deploying long-time second baseman Jose Altuve in left field in spring training to improve their infield defense and outfield offense. [49] He had not previously made any professional appearances as an outfielder. [50]
