Summary
The Houston Astros fired general manager Dana Brown a day before a series against the Yankees. Owner Jim Crane said manager Joe Espada will remain in his role. Brown’s contract was set to expire at the end of the season. The team said the decision was mutual. Senior adviser Jeff Bagwell and assistant general managers Charles Cook, Gavin Dickey, and Connor Huff will take over Brown’s responsibilities. Crane said the move was not influenced by the team’s performance. Espada said he was grateful for the opportunity Brown gave him. The Astros finished last season without a playoff berth for the first time since 2016.
