Houston Astros front-office restructuring

Overview

The Houston Astros are undergoing significant front-office restructuring. Owner Jim Crane announced that the organization and general manager Dana Brown have mutually agreed to part ways. Brown, who joined the team in January 2023, was in the final year of his contract.

During this transition, baseball operations will be overseen by Crane and distributed among assistant GMs Charles Cook, Gavin Dickey, and Connor Huff, as well as senior advisor Jeff Bagwell.

Regarding the coaching staff, owner Jim Crane confirmed that manager Joe Espada will remain in his position through the end of the current 2026 season. While previous reports suggested Espada would not return next season, Crane stated that the organization intends to evaluate his position after the 2026 campaign.

The management shifts occur as the Astros remain in contention for the American League West title, despite a recent record of 65-66.
