Astros release first baseman Jon Singleton

  • Jon Singleton, a 33-year-old first baseman, was released by the Houston Astros on Tuesday after a poor spring training performance.
  • Singleton's release comes after he signed a five-year, $10 million contract with the Astros in 2014 just before his major league debut, a deal that was unprecedented given his lack of experience.
  • In 2023, Singleton returned to Major League Baseball, playing briefly for the Milwaukee Brewers before joining the Astros, where he played in 119 games and batted.234 with 13 home runs and 42 RBIs.
  • Singleton's spring training stats included a.171 batting average, a.239 on-base percentage, no home runs, and two RBIs across 17 games.
  • With Houston signing Christian Walker to be their everyday first baseman and Cooper Hummel offering more defensive versatility, Singleton, who is now free to explore opportunities with other clubs, became expendable, especially since he is out of options.
