The Houston Astros General Manager, Dana Brown, is parting ways with the team after four seasons, according to a statement released by the team on Monday morning.
According to the Astros, Brown's responsibilities "will be transitioned to the Astros assistant general managers, Charles Cook, Gavin Dickey and Connor Huff and to Senior Advisor Jeff Bagwell."
The team also said that Astros Owners and Chairman Jim Crane will "oversee baseball operations through the transition period."
"Over the past four seasons, Dana has helped our organization win two division titles and has led our baseball front office through key scouting, draft and development efforts," Crane said in a statement released by the team. "On behalf of the Astros, I want to thank him for his commitment, energy and contributions to our organization. We wish he and his family the best."
Brown became the Astros general manager in January 2023. The team said his contract had been set to expire at the end of the 2026 season.
"I want to thank Jim Crane for the opportunity to serve in my first role as an MLB general manager," Brown said in a press release. "The Astros organization and the fans have welcomed me and my family, and I am grateful to have called Houston home for the past four seasons. I wish the organization well, and I look forward to the future as I continue my 36-plus years in professional baseball."
Brown’s departure comes after the Astros lost back-to-back games against the Athletics this weekend.The Astros are currently tied with the Rangers for first place in the American League West. Both teams have a 65-66 win-loss record this season.
