The Houston Astros are moving on from general manager James Click just days after winning the World Series. Team owner Jim Crane announced the news Friday after reportedly offering Click just a one-year contract.
Click, formerly an executive with the Tampa Bay Rays, was hired in early 2020 in the aftermath of the sign-stealing scandal, replacing suspended and fired GM Jeff Luhnow. Click maintained the Astros' era-dominating run of success through the turmoil and suspicion. The team reached the postseason each year, and twice made it to the World Series, emerging victorious this season.
