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.

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.

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

The Astros-Ryan Pressly divorce may have been in the works since last winter. Houston general manager Dana Brown admitted Tuesday that his relationship with the closer “took a slightly different turn” when the franchise signed Josh Hader to a five-year, $95 million contract a year ago, pushing Pressly into a setup man role.

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.

The Los Angeles Dodgers reportedly signed Kirby Yates on Tuesday. With an overflow in the bullpen, they could trade this reliever to the Houston Astros.

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