Astros manager Joe Espada and GM Dana Brown are entering the final seasons of their contracts, with no extension talks initiated by owner Jim Crane. Crane emphasized the focus on evaluating performance this year rather than negotiating extensions. The Astros, after missing the playoffs last season with an 87-75 record, are concentrating on improving their rotation, adding Mike Burrows and Tatsuya Imai, while seeking a backup catcher and a better left-handed hitting outfielder.
