Summary
Houston Astros shock fans by firing GM Dana Brown just as they lead the AL West — but the team’s momentum isn’t slowing. Brown, caught off guard by the move, had been quietly pushing to lock down extensions for key players Hunter Brown and Jeremy Pena before his exit. With owner Jim Crane wary of long-term deals and bad contracts, negotiations stalled — but time’s running out as both players hit free agency in 2028 and 2029. Despite the upheaval, Houston remains playoff-bound, and whoever steps in as GM might still get a shot at finalizing those deals. And yes — even fired, Brown’s still pulling for the guys he knows.
