Astros Shake Up Front Office | MLB News

Houston Astros owner Jim Crane shocks the baseball world by firing GM Dana Brown, citing organizational change—not performance—as the reason. Brown, hired just last year and in his final contract year, is being given space to regroup while duties are split among assistants and Jeff Bagwell. Crane insists no decision on manager Joe Espada will come until the season ends, reaffirming confidence in the team’s division title chances despite injuries crippling the pitching staff. The search for a new GM? Not starting until after the season, with Crane prioritizing experience—this will be his fourth GM hire since 2011. Brown, praised as talented and with a long career ahead, leaves on good terms. Espada remains focused on finishing strong, having recently met with Crane and addressed players amid personal challenges.
