MLB

When I was barely getting past the taste of champagne after the celebration for winning the 2022 World Series, Houston Astros made the first decisions for the season MLB 2023. The team of Jose Altuve, Jeremy Pena, Yordan Alvarez and company, ensured the continuity of Dusty Baker and renewed a key piece of the franchise.

In the history of the Astros there was a before and after January 13, 2020. Rob Manfred, commissioner of the MLB, made public the sign-stealing scandal of the Houston team during the 2017 season and after being suspended for a year, neither the team manager AJ Hinch, nor the general manager Jeff Luhnnow they returned to the franchise.

Houston Astros I was in the eye of the hurricane, I was walking a tightrope and when I was about to fall… Click! James Click took over as manager of the team and, despite a thousand and one accusations, kept the team afloat and made him a regular guest at the World Series.

Click took over as manager of the Houston Astros on February 3, 2020, becoming the 13th person to hold this position in team history. In James’s three seasons as GM, Jose Altuve and company always qualified for the Playoffs and after losing in the 2020 American League Championship Series and the 2021 World Series, it came the title in the ‘Fall Classic’ 2022.

Despite information published by the portal ‘The New York Post’ on October 21, 2022, it maintained that Jim Crane, owner of the Houston Astros, believed that James Click put a lot of emphasis on baseball analytics and that is why continuity after 2022 was not assured, Bob Nightengale, of USA Today Sports (Deportes Hoy), reported that the current World Series champion renewed his general manager’s contract for another year. The franchise will have a key piece to the 2023 MLB season.
