Ed Wade Hired As Astros GM

By Tim Dierkes | September 20, 2007 at 1:34pm CDT

Jayson Stark confirms it: Ed Wade is the new Astros GM.  Wade came in for his second interview today.

The Phillies promoted Wade to GM in December of 1997, and fired him in October of 2005 after the team failed to reach the playoffs during that span.


An attempt to compile some of Wade’s bigger moves (I’ve yet to form an opinion on his overall performance):

  • 12-23-97: Traded Mickey Morandini to Cubs for Doug Glanville
  • Failed to sign J.D. Drew; drafted Pat Burrell first overall in 1998
  • 11-19-98: Traded Ricky Bottalico and Garrett Stephenson to Cardinals for Ron Gant, Jeff Brantley, and Cliff Politte
  • 11-13-98: Traded Jerry Spradlin for Chad Ogea

  • 7-12-00: Traded Ashby to Braves for Jimmy Osting and Bruce Chen
  • Drafted Chase Utley 15th overall in 2000
  • 7-26-00: Traded Curt Schilling to Diamondbacks for Omar Daal, Nelson Figueroa, Travis Lee, and Vicente Padilla
  • 7-29-00: Traded Gant to Angels for Kent Bottenfield
  • Drafted Gavin Floyd 4th overall in 2001
  • Fired Terry Francona, hired Larry Bowa
  • 2000: Signed Ricky Bottalico, Rheal Cormier, and Jose Mesa
  • 1-29-01: Signed Paul Byrd
