Astros owner Jim Crane is vague on James Click's status as GM
Houston Astros owner Jim Crane speaks during a press conference to announce manager Dusty Baker's one-year contract extension as manager Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2022, at Minute Maid Park in Houston.As the Astros celebrated manager Dusty Baker’s one-year contract extension in a formal press conference held at Minute Maid Park on Wednesday afternoon, owner Jim Crane remained coy about the future of general manager James Click, whose contract expired Oct. 31.
Crane said he and Click spoke on Monday following the Astros’ championship parade before Click flew to Las Vegas and that discussions between the two men are ongoing. Both Baker and Click have been with the Astros since 2020, and this year oversaw a 106-win regular season and a World Series title. Asked what Click had done to not merit a contract extension at this point, Crane said Click was on the “same timeline as Dusty,” despite the fact that Baker’s future with the organization has been solidified while Click’s hangs in the balance.
“We were quite busy with Saturday and then Sunday, a little rest, and then we had the big parade and was able to sit down with James for a little while and he had to shoot off to the GMs meeting,” Crane said. “So we're in discussions and when he gets back we'll complete those discussions.”
