These are Houston Astros players who become free agents after being eliminated from the 2024 playoffs

The Houston Astros were eliminated from the 2024 playoffs after being defeated 5-2 in the second game of the Wild Card series. Thus, they were swept by the Detroit Tigers at Minute Maid Park.

With their elimination, they ended their streak of presence in the American League Championship Series, which they had maintained since 2017. The start of the campaign was peculiar for the team since, in just the first 36 games, Houston had a record of 12-24, but they recovered and finished with a record of 88-73.

These are the Astros' losses after their playoff elimination

The Astros will be without six players after becoming free agents this offseason and being eliminated from contention for the Commissioner's Trophy.

The Astros were eliminated from the 2024 postseason after being swept by the Detroit Tigers, and this was mainly due to Houston’s struggling offense, which scored only three runs in two games, and the bullpen’s inability to protect a late lead in Game 2.

The team’s pitching staff was a major strength, ranking sixth in baseball with a 3.74 ERA.

Framber Valdez led the Astros in innings and wins, Hunter Brown led the team in strikeouts with solid ratios, and Ronel Blanco was a surprise, finishing the season fourth in the majors in ERA. The bullpen, led by Josh Hader and setup men Bryan Abreu, Tayler Scott, and Ryan Pressly, was even more effective than the rotation.
