Hall of Famer David Ortiz doesn't see any team usurping the Houston Astros in the near future: "These people are trying to turn out to be a dynasty"

Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz believes the Houston Astros have developed into a dynasty and will not be dethroned any time soon.

The Astros have won two World Series titles in the last six seasons and have been to four during that span. Ortiz doesn't believe their status is going to change any time soon.

Ortiz said:

“Man I’m telling you, these people are trying to turn out to be a dynasty. I would not be surprised. The only difference is Verlander going somewhere else.”

The Astros did lose Justin Verlander, as Ortiz mentioned, but they didn't lose any other top players. They also brought in Jose Abreu to more than fill the gaping hole at first base.

The Astros have had revolving pieces over the course of their six-year run. They replaced Carlos Correa last offseason and hardly skipped a beat as Jeremy Pena won the World Series MVP.

They lost Verlander, but boast one of baseball's deepest rotations and have Hunter Brown waiting in the wings. They have a unique combination of stars and ready replacements for players who do leave. It's a big reason they've become the dynasty they are.

Even though the New York Mets, New York Yankees and a few other teams had excellent offseasons (and teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers are always a threat), the Astros are still favored to win it all.

For David Ortiz, that's very telling. No matter what these other teams have done, the Astros remain on top.

Can the Houston Astros maintain their success?

At least for the time being, the Houston Astros can absolutely continue being a dynasty. They have a lot of veterans along with young talent on the roster. When players like Jose Altuve, Jose Abreu, Alex Bregman and others are gone, they'll leave a hole.

However, the Astros can then lean on players like Cristian Javier, Jeremy Pena, Yordan Alvarez, Framber Valdez, Chas McCormick and others. They may not be as good of a team at that point, but the Astros aren't going anywhere any time soon.

They're an incredibly well-run organization that is poised for success now and in the future. Since they've already been so successful, it's hard not to call the Astros a genuine dynasty.
