Houston Astros GM Dana Brown is out after a tumultuous season, with owner Jim Crane stepping in to run baseball ops alongside assistants Charles Cook, Gavin Dickey, and Connor Huff — plus senior advisor Jeff Bagwell. The team’s struggles this year — 65-66, tied for first in a weak AL — mirror last year’s playoff miss, the first since 2016. Brown took over in 2023 after James Click’s departure following the 2022 World Series win, inheriting a franchise still recovering from the sign-stealing scandal. Crane’s interim leadership comes after a rocky pre-Brown era marked by questionable moves like Jose Abreu and Rafael Montero — now part of a rebuilding phase.
