The Houston Astros have appointed Randy Flores as their new general manager, following the dismissal of Dana Brown in August. Flores, who had been with the St. Louis Cardinals for over a decade, will be formally introduced at a news conference on Monday. Flores, 51, previously served as the Cardinals' assistant general manager of amateur and professional acquisition. He will be the 15th general manager in the Astros' history.

Flores, a former major league pitcher, joined the Cardinals' front office in 2015 as director of scouting and spent eight seasons as an assistant general manager. Astros owner Jim Crane expressed his satisfaction with Flores' background in scouting and player acquisition, stating that the team is eager to work with him to bring another championship to Houston. Flores expressed his excitement for the new role, thanking the Cardinals organization for their support and looking forward to contributing to the Astros' success.
