Dusty Baker Done In Houston?
1 year agoHouston Astros manager Dusty Baker has expressed to multiple people inside and outside of the organization that 2023 will be his final season as manager, according to sources briefed on the matter. The Astros season came to an end with an 11-4 Game 7 loss to the Texas Rangers in the American League Championship Series on Monday night. The 74-year-old Baker has a career 2,183-1,862 regular-season record in 26 major-league seasons and has three pennants and a World Series title (2022). Multiple sources not authorized to speak publicly said they think Baker wants to remain in the game in some capacity. Baker's .586 winning percentage trails only A.J. Hinch for the highest of any manager in team history. He led the team to four straight ALCS appearances and appeared in two World Series. Baker is the first manager in big-league history to win a division title with five different teams.
