The Oakland Athletics and general manager David Forst mutually agree to part ways, the teams and multiple outlets report. The announcement ends Forst’s long tenure with the franchise.
Forst joined the organization in 2000 as a scout and becomes general manager at the end of the 2015 season. Several reports describe this as his roughly 12th season in the GM role. Yahoo Sports reports that Forst does not plan to relocate with the team as it prepares to move to Las Vegas, though other outlets emphasize the personnel change without attributing it to relocation decisions.
In addition to Forst’s departure, Newsweek reports that the Athletics name Dan Feinstein as interim general manager. Other outlets focus on the mutual nature of the split and the timing during Forst’s current tenure, with details of leadership transition presented more specifically by Newsweek.
