Forst, who joined the organization in 2000 and was promoted to GM in 2015, oversaw a disappointing season in which the team recorded an MLB-worst 7-32 in recent months. Assistant general manager Dan Feinstein will step in as interim general manager while the A's conduct a comprehensive search for a permanent replacement.
