FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — A familiar face will be leading the Fresno Grizzlies as the club heads into a milestone season downtown.

The Fresno Grizzlies announced on Thursday that Andrew Milios will become the team’s next general manager.

Milios has been with the organization since 2008, starting as an inside sales representative and later taking on responsibilities that included overseeing ticket sales, guiding the corporate partnerships department, and helping drive the day-to-day operations of the organization.

He steps into the top role after serving as assistant general manager since the 2019 season.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to lead our incredible staff as we gear up for the 2026 season,” Milios said. “I can confidently say that our team is set up for success, and I look forward to continuing to bring the best in affordable family fun and entertainment to the Central Valley.”

Milios takes over as the Grizzlies prepare for their 25th season in downtown Fresno.

With nearly two decades of experience across multiple departments, he is set to guide the organization into its next era.

“There is, without a doubt, no one better to lead this team into the next era of Grizzlies baseball,” said Derek Franks, former president of the Fresno Grizzlies.

Andrew’s passion for Grizzlies baseball is unrivaled, and I am excited to cheer him and the team on as they take on the new season.
