What happened: Houston Astros assistant general manager Connor Huff has resigned from his role. General manager Randy Flores confirmed the departure, noting he has organizational backing to address the vacancy.

Why it matters: Huff's departure follows the earlier exit of Houston's international scouting director this offseason. The front-office turnover comes as Flores oversees his first winter leading baseball operations ahead of the 2027 campaign.

What to watch: Flores will seek a replacement to round out his front office ahead of the winter meetings.
