Astros evaluate Dana Brown's three seasons of farm system development
Summary

Houston Astros General Manager Dana Brown has overseen the club's farm system for three seasons, aiming to enhance talent following a World Series title in 2023. Since Brown's arrival, the Astros have produced a mix of prospects through drafts and international signings. Although some early draft picks have shown promise, including Brice Matthews and Xavier Neyens, other selections and international signings have yet to yield high-impact players. With the 2026 MLB Draft completed, assessments of the farm system's strength are underway as the organization evaluates the potential future contributions of recent drafts and trades.
