At the MLB general managers' meetings, the Houston Astros, led by GM Dana Brown, are exploring potential trades, including possibly moving setup man Ryan Pressly to manage luxury tax concerns. Pressly, who has a no-trade clause, could be traded if a suitable deal is found. The Astros are also prioritizing a reunion with Alex Bregman and addressing their offensive strategy, focusing on patience at the plate. Discussions about extending players like Kyle Tucker and Framber Valdez are ongoing, but the team is cautious about long-term deals.
The Houston Astros are considering trading reliever Ryan Pressly to clear payroll space, despite complications from his full no-trade rights due to his decade of MLB service. Pressly's potential trade could help the Astros re-sign Alex Bregman and address other roster needs, as they face luxury tax challenges. Pressly, who has a $14 million vesting option for next season, has seen a slight decline in performance but remains a valuable late-game pitcher. The Astros may find a team willing to take on his salary, though significant prospect returns are unlikely.
The Houston Astros have named newly signed Josh Hader as their closer, moving incumbent Ryan Pressly into a setup role, according to new manager Joe Espada. Hader, who signed a $95 million, five-year contract, will take over the closing duties from Pressly, who had 102 saves for the team in the past four seasons. Both pitchers have expressed support for the decision, emphasizing the importance of roles and routines in their performances.
The Houston Astros are in talks to sign free-agent closer Josh Hader, potentially impacting Ryan Pressly's role as the team's incumbent closer. General manager Dana Brown and manager Joe Espada have assured Pressly of their respect and support for him amidst the potential change.

Pressly, a key figure in the Astros clubhouse, has shown enthusiasm for the team's improvement and the addition of Hader.
The Houston Astros paused their pursuit of pitcher Josh Hader to consult with current closer Ryan Pressly about the potential acquisition. Pressly, a key figure in the team's bullpen, was described as supportive of adding Hader, but his true feelings remain unknown. The Astros aim to maintain harmony as they navigate the delicate situation of potentially moving Pressly to a different bullpen role to accommodate Hader. Manager Joe Espada emphasized the importance of clear communication and defined roles for the team's relievers.
The Houston Astros are targeting free agent Josh Hader to potentially replace Ryan Pressly as the team's closer, aiming to reinforce their bullpen after the loss of right-handed setup man Kendall Graveman. Hader, known as one of the best closers in the game, is seeking a significant contract, and the Astros' interest in him is not new, as they wanted him at the trade deadline last season. However, signing Hader could raise questions about how the team's manager would handle the closer role, and it would also represent an opportunity for the Astros to correct a past mistake when they traded Hader to the Brewers in 2015.

Pressly recently reached 100 saves with the Astros and has been named to multiple All-Star teams, solidifying his status as one of baseball's top relief pitchers.

Abreu had a stellar performance, hitting a two-run double, a solo homer, and scoring the winning run. The Astros' Framber Valdez pitched seven strong innings, allowing only one run. The win was marred by sloppy defense and injuries, and the Nationals argued that interference should have been called on the game-winning play.
