12/02/24 | These Are the Four Best Houston Astros Contracts on Next Season's Payroll. The Houston Astros faced adversity in 2024 they are no longer accustomed to. The Astros are still a force to be reckoned with, though, especially in the massively top-heavy division. Starting pitcher Ronel Blanco had a breakout season in 2024, including a no-hitter on April 1, his first start of the year and only the eighth of his career. It was the first time in his Major League career he pitched in more than 17 games in a season, and the consistent playing time could have been a huge reason for his success.
