The Houston Astros have hired Randy Flores as their new general manager, the team announced Friday night. Flores arrives in Houston after a 10-plus-year stint with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he most recently served as assistant general manager since 2018. Before joining the front office, Flores spent eight seasons in the big leagues as a left-handed reliever.
Owner Jim Crane praised Flores's impact on the Cardinals over the last decade and his background in scouting and player acquisition. The Astros were seeking a new GM following the August firing of Dana Brown, who had held the role since January 2023. Flores and his family are set to begin work immediately on bringing another championship to Houston.
