The Astros have parted ways with a sistant general manager Bill Firkus and player development director Sara Goodrum, . GM Dana Brown confirmed the news, telling Malachi Flynn Jersey Rome the organization decided to go in a different direction. Firkus was one of three executives with the AGM title in Houston, joining Andrew Ball and Charles Cook. Hed spent a decade with the franchise, working in the research and development and sports medicine departments. Firkus was originally hired during Jeff Lunhows GM tenure. He was the clubs senior director of baseball operations under James Click before being promoted to AGM last winter once the club moved on from Click. Between Clicks dismi sal and Browns hiring in January, Firkus and Ball shared daily responsibilities leading baseball operations. MLB.coms Jon Morosi reported that Firkus had stepped into the role of point person for free agent pursuits at the beginning of the offseason. Houston hired Goodrum out of the Brewers organization during the 2021-22 offseason. She spent two years overseeing the Astros farm system after working as a minor league hitting coordinator with Milwaukee. It isnt uncommon for incoming baseball operations leaders to reshape the front office early in their tenure. Brown was hired atypically late last offseason. That likely played a role in the first-year GMs decision to keep the top of the front office structure mostly intact for the first season. Brown told reporters the organization had a number of executive promotions planned. Its unclear if any of those people will take on the roles now vacated by the decisions to let go of Firkus and Goodrum or if theyll look outside the organization this winter. C.J. Miles Jersey
