Ryan Pressly's relationship with Dana Brown 'fractured,' the Houston Astros' GM said, when a prominent free agent signing forced Pressly into a new role.

Ryan Pressly is the most decorated playoff reliever in Houston Astros' history, a former closer with 14 career postseason saves (most in franchise history and fifth most all-time) and a 17-inning scoreless streak across the 2022 and 2023 postseasons.

Houston Astros pitcher Josh Hader has been gearing up for the 2025 season while spending quality time with his wife, Maria, and son, Lucas.

A year ago, the Houston Astros added to their bullpen with the type of free-agent splash they rarely make, signing closer Josh Hader in a move meant to build a late-innings trio that would let them shorten games from the back end.

Astros GM Dana Brown admitted his relationship with Ryan Pressly suffered over the last year before Houston traded him to the Cubs.

The Houston Astros have been one of the most successful Major League Baseball teams over the past decade, and they are a team loaded with stars.

Pressly never aired any grievances publicly and continued to serve as a model teammate throughout his uneven 2024 season.

Ryan Pressly said approving a trade to the Cubs was one of hardest decisions but he's ready to prove he can be a closer again in Chicago.

Pressly has agreed to waive his no-trade clause, according to a person familiar with the situation, and there is an agreement in place between the teams, pending a review of medical records. The person spoke to the AP on Sunday on condition of anonymity because the trade had not been finalized.

The trade will send Pressly and $5.5 million in cash to the Cubs in exchange for right-handed pitcher Juan Bello, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
