The Astros have made a pair of major staffing additions this offseason, hiring Randy Flores<\/a> as general manager and Brad Ausmus<\/a> as skipper. The club also had a subtraction this week, with Flores announcing that assistant general manager Connor Huff has left the organization.<\/p>\n

Flores told reporters, including Chandler Rome of The Athletic<\/a>, that Huff resigned to take a \u201cnew, exciting opportunity outside of baseball.\u201d Huff had been with the team since 2022. He was promoted<\/a> from vice president of business and baseball operations to AGM at the end of the 2025 season. Huff replaced former assistant GM Andrew Ball.<\/p>\n

Houston still has two AGMs on staff, Gavin Dickey and Charles Cook. Both interviewed for the role that ultimately went to Flores. Houston had a vacancy in its top front office position after moving on from Dana Brown in August. Flores mentioned that he\u2019d been given the go-ahead to hire a replacement for Huff, though he didn\u2019t specify whether it would be for an AGM role or a different position.<\/p>\n

The Astros are looking to rebound after an uneven year. Brown was fired with a month left in the regular season. Manager Joe Espada was retained at the time, but it was pretty clear he wouldn\u2019t be with the club beyond 2026. Houston backed into a division title despite a .500 record and was quickly booted from the playoffs in a sweep by the White Sox.<\/p>\n
