[Rome] Astros GM Dana Brown declined to discuss his contract, but said “I will tell you, I’m the GM of the Astros and that’s what I would expect to be.” Asked if he has been given assurances that will be the case going forward, Brown repeated some version of that answer.

  1. I think the trades at the deadline were bad, but not bad enough for him to lose his job. He’s been great for us for so many years, I dont think one not great year is enough for him to lose his job

  3. I think he should get another year. We needed bats at the deadline & had 3 pitchers imminently returning from the IL, so that’s what Brown focused on. Those pitchers getting immediately re-injured the entire offense regressing is not on Brown.

  4. The trades were not bad. Our entire team got injured. There’s not much you can do or plan for. If we had yordan and pena in the lineup for most of the season we would have cruised to winning the division.

  5. Sanchez trade was a disaster but Dana couldn’t have known that he’d be completely useless. Should have been a good bat against righties but he for some reason forgot how to hit, the fucking bum.

  6. I mean… what do you expect him to say to a question like that? To publicly speculate about your job?

  7. Things we definitely need:
    1. Another SP or two
    2. One proven power bat
    3. Revamped or new training/medical staff with a new return to play policy

    For #1, Astros should really try to sign Ranger Suarez or Myrill Kelly. You’re gonna lose Framber and most of our starting rotation is out from TJ or still recovering. Crane is very likely on the phone with JV but who knows if that will actually happen.

  8. Not being able to foresee that relying on 3 pitchers coming back to pitching for the first time in 1-2 years was a bad plan is a very, very bad look for a GM. Plus a very shotty Lance Mcullers— there’s no excuse for not getting us a top tier starter before the deadline. We missed the playoffs by 1 game.

    Regardless, in a season with so many injuries both him and Espada means they get another year. How could it not
