The Athletics have parted ways with General Manager David Forst, the team announced on Friday, Aug. 7.
The move comes as the team has a 45-70 record and is fourth in the AL West. They have lost eight straight games.

“David has been an integral part of the A’s and our success for nearly three decades,” team owner John Fisher said in a statement. “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.”
Forst had been with the A’s organization for 27 years and was in the final year of his contract. He expressed no interest in relocating to Las Vegas in two years when the organization moves from its temporary home in Sacramento.
Assistant General Manager Dan Feinstein will take Forst’s place through the end of the season as the organization looks for a permanent replacement, according to a team release.
