The Athletics have hired Cam Castro, the former senior vice president of player development and performance for the World Series champion Milwaukee Brewers, as their new general manager. Castro, who has been with the Brewers since 2019, will work under Taylor Smith, the Athletics' president of baseball operations. The Athletics, who finished the 2026 season with a 64-98 record, are in the process of rebuilding their front office in preparation for their planned move to Las Vegas in 2028.
Castro, who has a background in pitching development, played a key role in the Brewers' recent World Series victory. He will now aim to improve the Athletics' pitching, which struggled last season, allowing a franchise-record 247 home runs and walking 637 batters. The Athletics are scheduled to play their final season in West Sacramento, California, before moving to Las Vegas.
