The reporting (12)

Where it stands

According to coverage from outlets including ESPN, Yahoo Sports, and CBS Sports, the departure follows a recent losing homestand and a team skid, despite the Astros maintaining a first-place standing in the AL West. While some sources like MLB.com state that the move was a mutual agreement, other reports explicitly frame it as the team letting go of the general manager.

Following the change, owner Jim Crane has named himself temporary head of baseball operations, though coverage does not yet specify long-term replacement plans or further organizational shifts.
