The Astros are considering trading away their former close and two-time All-Star Ryan Pressly, The Athletic reported Wednesday. Pressly, who will be 36 when the 2025 MLB season opens, was uber-dependable as the Astros’ closer from 2020-23 — appearing in 202 games, pitching 198 2/3 innings and accumulating 102 saves.

White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet’s name came up a lot at this year’s trade deadline, but the All-Star pitcher remained in Chicago. But a rival evaluator told ESPN’s Buster Olney at last week’s general manager meetings that the team will trade Crochet this winter.

Less than two weeks into the MLB offseason, it appears that there is already an All-Star hitter available on the trade market.
