The Athletics are relocating to Las Vegas, Nevada ahead of the 2028 season, which means front-office executives will also have to relocate from the Bay Area to Las Vegas. According to The Athletic, Forst and his family did not want to relocate to Las Vegas.
Forst's contract also expires at the end of the 2026 season.
“David has been an integral part of the A’s and our success for nearly three decades,” A’s owner John Fisher said in a team-issued statement, per The Athletic. “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.”
Athletics Name an Interim GM
Assistant general manager Dan Feinstein will take over as interim GM for the remainder of the 2026 season, as the organization searches for its next GM.
Feinstein previously worked with the Athletics from 1994-2004 then went on to work within the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays front offices. He returned to the Athletics in 2011 and earned a promotion to assistant GM in 2015.
