2025 Houston Astros season explained

The 2025 Houston Astros season will be the 64th season for the Houston Astros, a Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise located in Houston, Texas, their 62nd as the Astros, 14th in both the American League (AL) and AL West division, and 27th at Daikin Park (formerly 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.

Offseason

Summary

The Houston Astros entered 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 seven consecutive American League Championship Series (ALCS) qualifications at seven (2017–2023)—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.^[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]
