Astros Part Ways with GM Dana Brown

On Aug 24, the Astros fired general manager Dana Brown after four seasons. Brown led the team to two division titles but missed the playoffs in 2025 and the team is struggling in 2026 (65-66). His key trade was the Kyle Tucker deal. Interim leadership will be handled by assistant GMs and Jeff Bagwell, with owner Jim Crane stepping in directly. This major front-office change adds uncertainty to the team's direction and roster decisions with 31 games left.
