Ex-GM Dana Brown lands new gig with Braves after Astros exit

The Houston Astros and Dana Brown mutually agreed to part ways during the 2026 MLB season. The decision came during a season that saw Houston win the lackluster American League West despite only earning 81 victories. They were ultimately defeated in the Wild Card round of the postseason. Brown, who was the general manager of the team, has found a new gig with the Atlanta Braves, Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY reports. “Former Astros GM Dana Brown returns to Atlanta as a senior adviser with amateur scouting,” Nightengale wrote.
