Fresh off his World Series win, Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker has signed a one-year deal to stay with the team next season.
Baker, 73, won his first World Series championship as manager in his 25th season as captain when the Astros beat the Philadelphia Phillies in six games on Saturday. General manager James Click and Baker’s contracts expired at the end of the season, but Click’s has yet to be renewed. Click said Tuesday night that he was discussing his future with team owner Jim Crane.
Click and Baker joined the team in 2020 to replace general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch, who were both fired in the wake of Houston’s sign-stealing scandal in 2017.
