Houston, TX (Sports Network) - The Houston Astros have relieved Brad Mills of
his managerial duties, general manager Jeff Luhnow announced Saturday.
Hitting coach Mike Barnett and first base coach Bobby Meacham have also been
relieved of their duties.
Mills, who was hired by Houston prior to the 2010 season and was under
contract through 2013, led the team to an MLB-worst 39-82 record this year.
The Astros have never posted a record over .500 under Mills, finishing 2010 at
76-86 and 2011 with a franchise-worst 56-106 mark.
Houston will hold a press conference at 11 a.m. ET, during which Luhnow will
introduce an interim manager.
