Astros Fire GM Brown Amid Playoff Push | Houston Astros News

Houston Astros owner Jim Crane shocks fans by firing GM Dana Brown just as the team races for a playoff spot, citing a need for change despite Brown’s past success and acknowledging his strong work in key areas. The move, timed after the draft and trade deadline, is framed as respectful to Brown’s final year — though injuries and roster depth issues have plagued the team since their 2023 ALCS run. Crane will now lead baseball ops alongside Jeff Bagwell, while searching for a new GM open to any background — all while keeping playoff hopes alive.
