{"id":2285,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/2285","headline":"Astros hire Brad Ausmus as next manager, pulling him from Yankees bench","dek":"Ausmus, a 10-year Astros catcher, leaves his job as Aaron Boone's bench coach to take over in Houston.","body":"The Astros are hiring Brad Ausmus as their next manager, pulling him away from the Yankees, where he had spent the past three seasons as Aaron Boone's bench coach.\n\nThe move brings Ausmus back to familiar territory. The 57-year-old spent 10 seasons as a catcher with Houston during his playing career, and now returns to lead the club from the dugout.\n\nThis will be Ausmus's third managerial job. He ran the Detroit Tigers from 2014 through 2017, reaching the playoffs in his first season there, then took over the Los Angeles Angels in 2019 for a one-year stint. Across both jobs he compiled a 386-422 record.\n\nFor the Yankees, the hire creates a vacancy on Boone's staff, leaving New York needing a new bench coach. For the Astros, it means a new voice in the dugout with deep ties to the organization, a hire built on continuity as much as experience.","published_at":"2026-11-11T18:49:13.231848+00:00","source_count":6,"written_from":[{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Astros hiring Brad Ausmus to be their next manager: Source","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7773532/2026/11/11/astros-hire-brad-ausmus-manager/"},{"outlet":"MLB.com","publisher":"MLB.com","title":"Astros expected to hire Ausmus as next manager (source)","url":"https://www.mlb.com/news/brad-ausmus-astros-manager"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Astros hire new manager, steal key coach from Yankees","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/astros-hire-manager-steal-key-155558738.html"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Brad Ausmus bolting Yankees to become Astros’ new manager","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/11/sports/brad-ausmus-bolting-yankees-to-become-astros-new-manager/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Yankees’ bench coach officially linked to Astros’ manager job","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/yankees-bench-coach-officially-linked-005329469.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Astros reportedly expected to hire franchise legend Brad Ausmus as next manager","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/breaking-news/article/astros-reportedly-expected-to-hire-franchise-legend-brad-ausmus-as-next-manager-154608368.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Houston Astros to hire Brad Ausmus as manager, per reports","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/houston-astros-hire-brad-ausmus-161522533.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Brad Ausmus leaves Yankees to become Astros’ next manager","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/brad-ausmus-leaves-yankees-become-162813759.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Astros announce hiring of franchise legend Brad Ausmus as next manager","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/breaking-news/article/astros-announce-hiring-of-franchise-legend-brad-ausmus-as-next-manager-164200247.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Astros name franchise icon Brad Ausmus as new manager as Houston tries to turn back the clock","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/astros-brad-ausmus-manager/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Astros hire Ausmus as manager","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/astros-hire-ausmus-manager-164313048.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Astros bring back former catcher Brad Ausmus as their manager after Joe Espada exit","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/houston-astros-hire-former-catcher-165155809.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Astros Name Brad Ausmus Manager","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/astros-name-brad-ausmus-manager-170952425.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Former Tigers manager Brad Ausmus gets another shot at the big chair","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/former-tigers-manager-brad-ausmus-170506268.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Former Astros manager Joe Espada linked to rival team","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/former-astros-manager-joe-espada-172150249.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Brad Ausmus is Astros’ new manager.
