The Houston Astros have hired Tampa Bay Rays‘ Vice President of Baseball Operations, James Click. He will fill the vacancy left by former general manager Jeff Luhnow, when he was terminated upon the conclusion of MLB’s investigation into the Astros’ cheating scandal.
Major League Baseball suspended Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch for one year. Astros’ owner Jim Crane followed the suspension up by terminating the deceitful duo.
As a reward for cheating during the 2017 season, the Astros have acquired a great baseball mind in 41-year-old VP James Click.
Click has been with the Rays for the past 14 years.
