Ryan Pressly directly calls out Dana Brown over his Astros exit

Former Houston Astros relief pitcher Ryan Pressly addressed his departure from the team and criticized general manager Dana Brown. Pressly, a former All-Star and World Series champion with Houston, raised concerns regarding how he learned he was being removed from his role as the team's closer.

Pressly had previously established a strong postseason track record with the Astros, including throwing ten scoreless appearances during the 2022 postseason to help secure a World Series title. He followed that by allowing zero runs across six postseason innings in 2023 before losing his closing duties that offseason.
