Astros Owner Confirms GM Brown Firing, Search Delayed Until Offseason
Jim Crane acknowledged he made the call to part ways with Dana Brown and said the organization hasn't begun identifying GM candidates.
Astros owner Jim Crane confirmed he dismissed GM Dana Brown, who was in the final year of his contract, citing the organization not being where it wanted to be. Crane is currently overseeing baseball operations alongside three assistant GMs and senior advisor Jeff Bagwell. A formal search for a new GM is unlikely to start until the season concludes, as many external candidates could not be contacted during the year. Crane left open the possibility of promoting from within, with Bagwell and assistant GM Charles Cook mentioned as potential candidates.
