Astros Part Ways With GM Dana Brown

The Houston Astros and general manager Dana Brown have mutually agreed to part ways, with Brown’s contract set to expire at the end of the 2026 season. Responsibilities will be divided among assistant GMs Charles Cook, Gavin Dickey and Connor Huff, and senior advisor Jeff Bagwell, while owner Jim Crane oversees baseball operations during the transition. Brown, who has been in charge since January 2023, helped the organization win two division titles and oversaw scouting, drafts and development. He thanked the team and said he will pursue the next chapter of his long baseball career. The Astros entered the year with a competitive outlook and sit at 65-66, tied for first in the AL West after a six-run collapse to the Athletics and a challenging homestand. The news is part of broader coverage of the club’s season and ongoing leadership changes.
