Athletics Part Ways With Longtime GM David Forst
The Athletics mutually parted ways with longtime general manager David Forst and named Dan Feinstein interim GM.
The Oakland Athletics have officially terminated their relationship with general manager David Forst, according to reports from The Athletic. Forst, who joined the team in 2000, held the GM position since 2015, making it a 27-year tenure with the franchise. In a statement, Forst expressed gratitude towards the A's, describing them as "full of incredibly talented, devoted, and good people."
The Athletics, however, are set to move to Las Vegas ahead of the 2028 season, necessitating a relocation of key personnel including Forst. Forst and his family were reportedly not keen on moving to Las Vegas. Moreover, Forst's contract remains valid until the end of the 2026 season. "David has been an integral part of the A's and our success for nearly three decades," stated A's owner John Fisher.
"His leadership, dedication, and commitment to this team have helped shape our baseball operations department and position us for the future. We are grateful for everything David has done for our organization." Until the appointment of a new GM, interim general manager Dan Feinstein will oversee the team. Feinstein, who worked with the Athletics from 1994-2004, later moved on to work with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays before returning to the Athletics in 2011, where he was promoted to assistant GM in 2015.
