Cardinals Assistant General Manager Gaining Interest From Astros

The Houston Astros have shown interest in St. Louis Cardinals assistant general manager and scouting director Randy Flores for their vacant general manager position. Houston dismissed former general manager Dana Brown in August and reportedly aims to name a replacement before the end of the World Series. Flores is among several candidates under consideration as Houston looks to rebuild its farm system.

Flores joined the Cardinals' front office in 2015 and helped elevate the club's minor league system to a top-four ranking under president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom. The article notes Flores could also attract interest from the Los Angeles Angels if former Cardinals executive John Mozeliak remains in their leadership group.
