For nearly a decade, the Houston Astros stood as a monument to sustained excellence in American baseball — a franchise that made October feel like a birthright. Now, in the spring of 2026, a cascade of injuries has fractured that identity almost overnight, leaving the organization to wrestle with a question dynasties rarely face so suddenly: whether to trade their greatest remaining asset, Yordan Alvarez, and begin the long work of rebuilding. It is the kind of reckoning that reminds us how fragile even the most carefully constructed legacies can be.
