The Houston Astros have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Taiwan and the country's Ministry of Economic Affairs and sports authority. The agreement aims to boost baseball industry development, player scouting and talent cultivation between the United States and Taiwan. The Astros' focus is on player training in the United US, potential competitions between the two countries, and possible talent exchanges. The MOU also includes potential commercial and technical collaborations. This is not the first time the Astros have invested in Taiwan and Asia; in summer 2025, they hired scouts in Taiwan, Japan and South Korea to increase their presence across Asia.
