The Astros are cleaning house after a disappointing 2025 season.
The franchise won’t renew the contracts of hitting coaches Alex Cintrón and Troy Snitker and Major League coach Michael Collins, according to multiple reports.
Houston is also making changes in their front office by parting ways with assistant general manager Andrew Ball.
Perhaps most significantly, given the team’s recent injury history, head athletic trainer Jeremiah Randall won’t return next season as well.
The overhaul comes after the Astros missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2016 season.
Houston led the American League West for much of the season before faltering in September, finishing 87-75 and three games behind the Mariners in the division.
They tied with the Tigers for the third wild card spot in the AL, but lost out on a tiebreaker.
The Astros were pummeled by injuries this past season, losing slugger Yordan Alvarez, shortstop Jeremy Peña, third baseman Isaac Paredes and closer Josh Hader for months at a time.
In total, 28 players hit the injured list for the Astros this season.
Their offense took a dip this season as well, hence the Cintrón and Snitker moves.
After having one of the better offenses in baseball for the better part of the last decade, the Astros were middle of the pack in 2025, finishing tied for 14th in OPS (.714), tied for 16th in home runs (182) and 21st in runs scored (686).
Despite no October baseball in Houston for the first time in nine seasons, the franchise is bringing back manager Joe Espada and general manager Dana Brown, who are both in the final year of their deals.
