Dusty Baker received a one-year offer to manage the Astros in 2023, and his return is said to be likely. Baker, 73, seems to be OK going one year at a time.
Astros GM James Click also is believed to have received a one-year extension offer on a contract that expired Oct. 31, which obviously isn’t much of a reward for a young GM after. Click told reporters in Las Vegas he’s “in discussions” about a new deal, though it isn’t known whether Astros owner Jim Crane is willing to alter the one-year offer, which is stunningly light following two straight World Series appearances.
It’s interesting to wonder whether Crane might prefer to bring back former Astros executive David Stearns,with the Brewers after declining an offered extension to remain as Brewers baseball president. Stearns is said by sources to be mostly sidelined, who also suggest he has received no approval to interview elsewhere and would presumably need to wait a year to move to a new team.
It’s also interesting to wonder whether Click’s short extension offer is related to an interest in Stearns. The Mets also have shown interest in Stearns. Bob Nightengale of USA Today first reported that Click received an offer to return for 2023.
