Houston Astros legend Brad Ausmus is returning to the organization, according to a report by Joel Blank for SB Nation. The move could create tension with fellow franchise icon Jeff Bagwell, who may pose the biggest challenge to Ausmus's new role.

The three Astros greats — Craig Biggio, Ausmus, and Bagwell — were photographed together courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers vs. Houston Rockets game on February 8, 2006, at the Toyota Center in Houston.

Blank's article, published on November 11, 2026, explores the dynamics of Ausmus's return and the potential friction with Bagwell.
