Athletics part ways with GM Forst, launch search for new baseball ops chief
Oakland Athletics fire general manager David Forst, ending his eight-year run as GM; the club says it’s a mutual parting of ways though reports describe a firing, and a search for a new head of baseball operations will begin. Forst had led the A’s since 2015, a tenure that saw limited postseason success despite back-to-back 97-win seasons in 2018–2019, with payroll constraints and an ongoing relocation saga—moving from Oakland toward Las Vegas and considering temporary homes in Sacramento—dominating the franchise’s recent era.
