Ranking the Houston Astros’ top 5 manager candidates
HOUSTON (BVM) — The Houston Astros entered the 2023 MLB season as defending World Series champions and returned a star-studded cast, including Jose Altuve, Yordan Alvarez, Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker. They were led by Dusty Baker, who helped Houston to its third consecutive American League Championship Series (ALCS) and finish with a 90-72 record.
However, the Astros fell to the Texas Rangers in Game 7, and following the loss, Dusty Baker reportedly told multiple people that this was his last year as a manager.
