Other than signing Josh Hader, the Astros had a relatively uneventful offseason. Dana Brown did scour the waiver wire and picked up a couple of interesting arms for the bullpen. Right-handed reliever Dylan Coleman was brought in via trade with the Royals. Victor Caratini was signed to be the backup catcher to Yainer Díaz. Sure, Hader by himself is a large enough acquisition to change the complexion of an offseason. Still, the organization wasn’t exactly in a position where it had to make a big move. If anything else, Joe Espada being named the manager for 2024 might be where the most improvement occurs.
