Houston Astros general manager Randy Flores confirmed Tuesday that assistant general manager Connor Huff is leaving the organization to pursue a career outside of baseball. The announcement, made during the general managers’ meetings in Las Vegas, marks another significant personnel change for the club this offseason. Flores stated that Huff resigned to accept “an exciting new opportunity,” and the team intends to hire a replacement to fill the vacancy.
Randy Flores signals front office shakeup as he seeks fresh eyes for key executive role
Huff, who joined the Astros in 2022 as vice president of business and baseball operations, served in the assistant GM role for the 2026 season. His departure leaves Flores with two remaining assistant general managers, Charles Cook and Gavin Dickey, both of whom are longtime organization members currently involved in the managerial search. By replacing Huff, Flores aims to bring in a direct hire who can align with his specific strategic vision, effectively reshaping the front office leadership structure.
Flores noted that Huff had a “wide breadth of responsibilities,” including cross-functional strategic and analytics projects, which the team hopes to backfill with a new candidate. This move underscores the Astros’ commitment to overhauling their executive staff under new leadership. As the front office turnover continues, the search for a new assistant GM becomes a priority for Flores as he seeks to stabilize the organization and implement his own operational philosophy.
