James Click’s future remains in serious doubt, and he spent 20 awkward minutes on Tuesday making that apparent.
The Astros have announced a press conference for Wednesday but general manager James Click says he won't be there, leaving more questions on his future in Houston.LAS VEGAS — Monday afternoon afforded James Click a chance he cherished. He participated in a championship parade he helped to produce, weaving through the streets of downtown Houston while more than a million of its citizens cheered.
“I’ve been so laser-focused on the postseason and just trying to push that over the line,” Click said on Tuesday from the Conrad Hotel in Las Vegas during the league's general manager's meetings. “We were lucky enough to push it over the line. Now we’ve moved onto other decisions. This is the timetable the organization has decided and I’ll abide by that.”
The team called a press conference for noon Wednesday at Minute Maid Park. The announcement emailed to media members did not include a reason or participants. It is expected the team will announce a one-year extension for Baker to return as the club’s manager in 2023. Click’s contract expired Oct. 31. When it did, he essentially became an at-will employee. Click is not the only general manager in Las Vegas without a contract. Brian Cashman of the New York Yankees is without one, but it’s considered a foregone conclusion he’ll be re-signed.
