Astros GM Exit Exposes Deeper Issues | Houston Astros News

The team’s roster is now thinning, their farm system ranked as MLB’s weakest, and manager Joe Espada won’t be returning. With the wild card still within reach, the next GM inherits a mess built by those still in charge — and faces an uphill climb to turn things around.
