A’s Name Former Brewers Executive Cam Castro as General Manager
The Athletics have added Cam Castro as general manager, just over two weeks after hiring Taylor Smith as president of baseball operations. Castro, 36, joins the club from the reigning World Series champion Milwaukee Brewers, where he was senior vice president of player development and performance for the past two seasons. He began with Milwaukee in 2019 as a minor‑league pitching coach and rose through roles as minor‑league pitching coordinator, director of pitching development (2020‑21) and vice president of player development in 2022. Castro praised the opportunity and expressed enthusiasm for building a team, culture and organization that fans will be proud of. Smith welcomed Castro as a valuable addition, noting his expertise in pitching and development will help address the Athletics’ need for improvement after a 64‑98 season. The move signals a new era of front‑office leadership as the A’s prepare for their final season at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento before moving to a new ballpark in Las Vegas, expected to open for play by Opening Day 2028.
