A's to hire Cam Castro as GM (source)

The Oakland Athletics have appointed Cam Castro as their new general manager, marking a significant addition to the front office shortly after the arrival of Taylor Smith. Castro, 36, transitions to the role after serving as a senior vice president with the Milwaukee Brewers, where he specialized in player development and pitching systems.

His expertise is expected to address the pitching needs of an Oakland squad that finished with 64 wins and 98 losses last season. Smith praised the hire, noting that Castro's background will be instrumental in building a competitive culture.

This leadership team will guide the franchise through its final year at Sutter Health Park before the club moves to a new stadium in Las Vegas by 2028.
