The Houston Astros have a big offseason ahead of them, and one of their long time relievers has been named a trade candidate.
, but they do have other needs heading into 2025. First base and the rotation need to be addressed first and foremost. That being said, reliever and former closer Ryan Pressly has been named as a trade candidatePressly was once the long time closer for the Astros, but lost his job when the team brought in Josh Hader in free agency. Pressly recorded just four saves in 2024 to go along with his 3.49 ERA and 9.2 K/9.
The fact that the right hander lost his job was not due to his performance in 2023 when he recorded 31 saves, but because the pedigree and contract of Hader. With Hader, Bryan Abreu and Tayler Scott now firmly entrenched in the bullpen, Pressly becomes the odd man out., according to Spotrac. The only trick is that Pressly has 10-to-5 rights meaning he will have to accept the trade.
He's also a proven postseason performer, boosting his pedigree even more. In 47 career postseason appearances, Pressly has a 2.78 ERA with 14 saves.
