"Houston, I want to say thank you!!! Thank you for everything over these last 2 seasons," he tweeted. "I am damn proud to wear the Astros uniform & go to war for these guys and for you these last two years. Thank you for everything. #HTown

McCullers also called Astros fans "Hands down best fans in sports!!!!!!"

And he had a touching message for his teammates, as well.

"To my teammates, I love you. You are the most special group of people I have ever been around and you made me want to be a better person, player and teammate. I will never forget the moments we shared together. Thank you for everything."
