""I'm the GM of the Astros, and that's what I would expect to be tomorrow, the next day and the next day""
""Joe is the manager. Joe is under contract [for 2026].""
"Brown vowed Sunday to conduct a "full assessment" and to "think about the entire operation.""
""The season ended 48 hours ago," said Espada. "We are trying to have conversations and see how we're going to move forward. That's where we're at right now.""
The Astros' streak of consecutive postseason appearances ended in 2025 following a poor second half. A late sweep by the eventual division-champion Mariners in Houston sealed the club's absence from the playoffs. General manager Dana Brown indicated continuity, expressing expectation to remain GM, and noted that Joe Espada is under contract for 2026. Espada became manager in 2024 after Dusty Baker's retirement. Brown pledged a "full assessment" and to "think about the entire operation," leaving open possible changes to coaching or player-development staff. Framber Valdez and Victor Caratini are free agents and Houston faces a large arbitration class.
