Brown joins the Astros after spending the last four seasons with the Atlanta Braves where they won a World Series in 2021
Longtime baseball executive Dana Brown was hired as the Houston Astros' new General Manager, according to Astros Owner and Chairman Jim Crane. Brown joins the Astros after spending the last four seasons with the Atlanta Braves organization as their Vice President of Scouting.
In that role, he oversaw several successful drafts in which the Braves selected impact players such as outfielder Michael Harris, right-handed pitcher Spencer Strider, and infielder Vaughn Grissom. In 2022, Harris earned National League Rookie of the Year honors while Strider finished second. The Braves' success in recent years, which includes five straight division titles and a World Series championship in 2021, has in large part been the result of a solid farm system. "We are excited to have Dana join our organization," Crane stated. "He brings championship-caliber experience to our team and is the right fit for us to continue to deliver a winning franchise on and off the field. We welcome Dana and his family to the Astros family."WASHINGTON - JUNE 9: Dana Brown, director of scouting for the Washington Nationals, looks on during the Major League baseball draft on June 9, 2009 at Nationals Park in Washington D.C.
