The Athletics are hiring Cam Castro as their new general manager, The Athletic reported on Wednesday.
Castro served as the senior vice president of player development and performance with the 2026 World Series champion Milwaukee Brewers.
He will work under the Athletics' new president of baseball operations Taylor Smith. Smith, 31, was hired on Oct. 19 after spending the past two seasons as senior vice president and assistant general manager for the Boston Red Sox.
Castro was the baseball coach for Division II Lake Erie College before being hired by the Brewers as a pitching coach at Class A Carolina in 2019. He was named minor league pitching coordinator the following year and director of pitching development in 2022 before being promoted to his most recent post following the 2024 season.
Castro effectively will take the place of former general manager David Forst. The team mutually parted ways with Forst in August after he had been in the role since 2015. Assistant GM Dan Feinstein assumed the spot in an interim capacity for the rest of the season.
Under the watch of Smith and Castro, the A's will play their final season in West Sacramento, Calif., in 2027 before moving to Las Vegas in 2028.
The Athletics were 64-98 in 2026, their fifth straight losing season. The team hasn't been to the playoffs since 2020.
