Athletics Part Ways With GM David Forst, Name Feinstein Interim
Forst, in the final year of his contract, exits the A's front office. His unwillingness to relocate to Las Vegas was a factor.
The Oakland/Sacramento Athletics have dismissed GM David Forst, who spent 27 years with the organization. Forst was in the final year of his contract and reportedly had no interest in relocating with the franchise to Las Vegas in approximately two years. Dan Feinstein has been named interim GM. The front-office shake-up could signal a shift in roster and organizational decision-making as the team prepares for its Las Vegas transition.
