His responsibilities will transition to Assistant General Managers Charles Cook, Gavin Dickey and Connor Huff, as well as Senior Advisor Jeff Bagwell. Astros Owner and Chairman Jim Crane will oversee baseball operations during the transition as the team remains focused on the American League West Division race.
“Over the past four seasons, Dana has helped our organization win two division titles and has led our baseball front office through key scouting, draft and development efforts,” Crane said.
“On behalf of the Astros, I want to thank him for his commitment, energy, and contributions to our organization. We wish he and his family the best.”
Brown reflected on his time with the organization.
“I want to thank Jim Crane for the opportunity to serve in my first role as an MLB General Manager,” Brown said. “The Astros organization and the fans have welcomed me and my family, and I am grateful to have called Houston home for the past four seasons. I wish the organization well and I look forward to the future as I continue my 36-plus years in professional baseball.”
