Houston Astros Part Ways with GM Dana Brown; Manager Joe Espada Retains Position for Now
The Houston Astros have parted ways with general manager Dana Brown, with reports indicating he was effectively fired despite official statements of a mutual parting. Brown's departure comes amid the team's recent struggles, including a 3-6 homestand and a 7-11 record since the trade deadline. Meanwhile, manager Joe Espada is expected to remain with the team through the season as owner Jim Crane evaluates his future. Both Brown and Espada had contracts set to expire after the 2026 season.
