HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Astros have fired general manager Ed Wade and team president Tal Smith.
The moves come less than a week after the sale of the team from Drayton McLane to Jim Crane was officially completed.
The team announced the moves late Sunday night in a statement from new team president and chief executive officer George Postolos.
Postolos says “with the change in ownership, we would like a fresh start in baseball operations.”
