Temporada 2008 de los Astros de Houston

La temporada 2008 de los Houston Astros fue su 47.ª temporada. Los Astros intentaron regresar a la postemporada, tras perderse las dos anteriores. Esta fue la última temporada en la que los Astros terminaron por encima de la marca de .500 antes de su participación en la postemporada de 2015.El 29 de octubre, los seis jugadores elegibles de los Astros solicitaron su inscripción en la agencia libre. La lista incluye al receptor Brad Ausmus, al infielder Mike Lamb, al infielder Mark Loretta, al jardinero Orlando Palmeiro, al relevista zurdo Trever Miller y al relevista derecho Brian Moehler.El 30 de octubre, los Astros firmaron al receptor Brad Ausmus con un contrato de un año y dos millones de dólares.El 8 de noviembre, los Astros adquirieron al jardinero Michael Bourn, al tercera base Michael Costanzo y al relevista derecho Geoff Geary de los Filis de Filadelfia a cambio del lanzador derecho Brad Lidge y el infielder Eric Bruntlett. El anuncio fue realizado por el gerente general de los Astros, Ed Wade.El 16 de noviembre, los Astros adquirieron al relevista derecho Óscar Villarreal de los Bravos de Atlanta a cambio del jardinero central Josh Anderson. Ese mismo día, los Astros también firmaron al jardinero Yordany Ramírez como agente libre.El 20 de noviembre, los Astros firmaron al agente libre Geoff Blum con un contrato de un año que incluye una opción del club para un segundo año.El 26 de noviembre, los Astros firmaron al lanzador de relevo agente libre Doug Brocail con un contrato de un año.El 30 de noviembre, los Astros y el agente libre Kazuo Matsui acordaron un contrato de 3 años por 16,5 millones de dólares. Matsui jugó como segunda base para los Rockies de Colorado, campeones de la Liga Nacional, en la temporada 2007.El 12 de diciembre, los Astros adquirieron al campocorto Miguel Tejada de los Orioles a cambio de cinco jugadores. Los Astros intercambiaron al jardinero Luke Scott, a los lanzadores Matt Albers, Troy Patton y Dennis Sarfate, y al tercera base Mike Costanzo a Baltimore por Tejada. Adam Everett, el campocorto de los Astros en ese momento, tuvo que lidiar con un doble revés: los Astros no solo adquirieron a Tejada, sino que también le retiraron su contrato, dejándolo sin equipo a las 11 p.m. CT.El 14 de diciembre, la temporada baja de negociaciones de los Astros de Houston continuó el viernes, cuando el club canjeó a Chris Burke, Chad Qualls y Juan Gutiérrez a los Diamondbacks de Arizona a cambio del cerrador José Valverde.En enero, Brandon Backe, Ty Wigginton y Dave Borkowski firmaron un contrato de un año.El 20 de febrero, Shawn Chacón firmó un contrato por un año.El 29 de marzo, los Astros liberaron a Woody Williams.El 30 de marzo, los contratos del jardinero José Cruz Jr. y el lanzador derecho Brian Moehler fueron adquiridos de la sucursal Triple-A de Round Rock.En los entrenamientos de primavera, los Astros registraron un récord de 13-18, culminando con una victoria de 9-4 en el último partido de los entrenamientos de primavera en Minute Maid Park.Tras perder los dos primeros juegos de la temporada 2008, los Astros perdían 6-5 en la alta de la novena entrada con dos outs en el tercer juego contra Trevor Hoffman, el 2 de abril. Los Astros se embasaron con dos cuando Hunter Pence conectó una línea que rebotó en el guante de Adrián González hacia el jardín derecho para empatar el juego. Lance Berkman apareció a continuación y conectó un jonrón de tres carreras al jardín central, dejando el marcador 9-6. Valverde selló la primera victoria de los Astros en 2008.
