Astros Shake Up Front Office as Dana Brown Moves On

The Houston Astros announced a mutual parting with GM Dana Brown after four seasons, with assistant GMs Charles Cook, Gavin Dickey and Connor Huff and senior advisor Jeff Bagwell taking over duties as owner Jim Crane oversees baseball operations during the transition. Brown thanked the organization; his tenure included high-priced signings like Jose Abreu and Rafael Montero that underperformed and a lack of extensions for core players Jeremy Peña, Kyle Tucker, Hunter Brown, Alex Bregman and Framber Valdez, though Cristian Javier did receive a five-year extension.

Angels Name Mozeliak Interim GM, Ousting Minasian

The Los Angeles Angels fired general manager Perry Minasian after more than five years and named longtime Cardinals GM John Mozeliak as interim GM and baseball operations consultant to refine the team’s strategy and aid in the search for a permanent successor; Mozeliak will handle daily roster work for now, while Minasian’s departure continues a pattern of front-office turnover under owner Arte Moreno and amid ongoing questions about the organization’s development, trades, and handling of Shohei Ohtani and other core assets.

Red Sox Stand By Breslow Amid Slump

Boston sits at 27-39 and last in the AL East after a fourth straight loss to the Rays, as Sam Kennedy publicly said chief baseball officer Craig Breslow’s job isn’t on the table. Breslow, in his third season as CBO, has a contract likely through 2027, while Boston has already fired manager Alex Cora and most of his staff, with Chad Tracy serving as interim manager. The team also pursued a right-handed bat at the trade deadline, though major moves are unlikely this time of year, and Breslow’s future could be revisited in the offseason depending on how the season unfolds.

Padres extend architect of contention A.J. Preller with multi-year deal

San Diego Padres announce a multi-year contract extension for president of baseball operations A.J. Preller, locking him in for at least three more years (length not disclosed) as the architect who rebuilt the franchise into a perennial contender. The move follows a tenure that has yielded four playoff appearances in six years and an NLCS in 2022, driven by bold trades and payroll decisions; teammates like Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado publicly praised his leadership as the team aims for its first World Series.

Padres lock in A.J. Preller with new multi-year deal amid offseason uncertainty

The San Diego Padres announced a multiyear extension for GM A.J. Preller through 2028, ending months of uncertainty amid an offseason that included manager Mike Shildt’s resignation, a rookie manager in Craig Stammen, and looming sale talks. Preller, praised for building competitive rosters and back-to-back 90-win seasons despite budget constraints and a depleted farm system, negotiated with team chairman John Seidler for an extended contract (the exact length wasn’t disclosed). Manny Machado publicly supported keeping Preller, and the Padres’ ownership situation could influence future decisions even as the club remains broadly positioned for continued fan engagement.

Rangers Secure Jake Burger in Trade with Marlins

The Miami Marlins are trading infielder Jake Burger to the Texas Rangers, despite Burger's solid performance and future potential, as he isn't arbitration-eligible until after 2025. This move suggests the Marlins, under new President of Baseball Operations Peter Bendix, might be planning a deeper roster rebuild, potentially involving more trades of key players like Sandy Alcántara and Jesus Luzardo.
