Manager Dusty Baker and GM James Click have been winners the last two seasons but remain...
Astros general manager James Click, manager Dusty Baker and owner Jim Crane were all smiles in November of 2021 when Baker received a one-year contract extension.If Jim Crane wanted James Click to be the Astros’ general manager next season, the owner of Houston’s MLB team would have already given a contract extension to a GM with 102 wins this season.
How can the remade Astros be toxic when they have Justin Verlander, Jose Altuve, Yordan Alvarez, Framber Valdez, Alex Bregman, Kyle Tucker and more on such a strong team? Baker, again, must seemingly prove his full worth in the postseason, the year after he led the Astros to Game 6 of the World Series.Baker has already said that he wants to manage the Astros next season. He reaffirmed this week that he hopes to return for his fourth year in orange and blue.
Crane appears to want a more aggressive GM who resembles the cutthroat ways of former GM Jeff Luhnow. But being so Luhnow-like from 2012-19 is what made the Astros the most hated team in pro sports in 2020. Last year at this time, Baker and the Astros were set to evaluate a shared future together. With October hours away in 2022, Crane is the only person standing in the way from Baker managing the club next year.
