Dana Brown Out as Houston Astros GM, per Robert Murray
Robert Murray's Baseball Insiders podcast reports Dana Brown is out as Houston Astros GM, a move the club has since described as a mutual parting.
Dana Brown is no longer the Houston Astros' general manager, per Robert Murray's Baseball Insiders podcast. The club, per beat reporter Brian McTaggart, described the separation as a mutual parting of ways — though the Astros had reportedly already decided not to renew Brown's contract beyond the 2026 season before the split was formalized.
With Brown gone, Houston is operating without a traditional GM. Per earlier reporting, front-office duties have been distributed among three assistant GMs and senior advisor Jeff Bagwell, with owner Jim Crane overseeing baseball operations in the interim.
What remains unresolved
Manager Joe Espada's status is also worth watching: per prior reporting, Espada was retained for now but is expected to be dismissed after the season concludes. Houston's front-office search — and whatever shape it takes — figures to be one of the more consequential organizational decisions of the offseason.
The podcast also touched on Dodgers injuries, though no specific players or details were identified in the available material. That thread remains open pending further reporting.
