Overview
- The Astros and general manager Dana Brown mutually agreed to part ways on Monday, with the change effective immediately.
- Brown’s day‑to‑day responsibilities were shifted to assistant general managers and senior adviser Jeff Bagwell while owner Jim Crane will oversee baseball operations through the transition.
- The move follows a damaging 3-6 homestand and a 65-66 record that left Houston tied for the American League West lead with 31 games remaining.
- Brown had been Houston’s GM since January 2023, led the club to two division titles and a 2023 ALCS run, and entered this season with a contract due to expire at year’s end.
- The club will operate under the interim structure through the rest of the season and begin a winter search for a permanent head of baseball operations as questions about pitching, trade‑deadline activity and managerial stability linger.
