The Houston Astros haven’t had a winning season since 2008, when they went (86-75). Bo Porter was in his second season with the team, but now it’s all over.
Last season, Houston was a dreadful (51-111). Currently they’re (59-79), which places them fourth in the AL West.
General manager Jeff Lunnow says it’s time for a new direction.
“I recognize that our win-loss record is largely a product of an organizational strategy for which I am responsible,” Luhnow said in a statement. “Rather, I made this decision because I believe we need a new direction in our clubhouse.”
The Astros will be looking for their fourth full-time manager since 2007.
