The champions face many questions. Will Dusty Baker and James Click get new contracts?...
Houston Astros general manager James Click is seen before Game 6 of the World Series at Minute Maid Park on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022, in Houston.At 10:17 p.m. on Saturday night, Kyle Tucker’s running catch sent a city into a frenzy and a franchise to its final goal. The 2022 Houston Astros are World Series champions and can make a compelling case as the best team in franchise history.
Owner Jim Crane had multiple opportunities to commit to Click during this playoff run. He did not. Multiple media outlets, including the Chronicle, asked him about Click’s future following Saturday’s win. The owner responded that “I’ll visit that on Monday.” At the very least, Click’s murky future signals a level of dysfunction that may give potential candidates pause in pursuing the job, should it open. What established executive would leave his or her position to work in an organization where 106 regular-season wins and a World Series isn’t satisfactory?
Baker is 73 and captured the thing eluding him on Saturday, but didn’t sound like someone ready to retire. Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander celebrates in the clubhouse after winning the World Series over the Philadelphia Phillies at Minute Maid Park on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022, in Houston.As long as Crane is involved, never rule out a reunion with Verlander. The two men are extremely close. Earlier this season, Verlander said Crane negotiated most of his current contract, including the $25 million player option that required him to throw 130 innings.
