Dusty Baker says he will be returning to manage the Houston Astros in 2023. [View all]
His three year contract expired, so they will be negotiating. Boy howdy, he's sitting in the catbird seat.
According to Bob Nightengale with USA Today, Baker is expected to return as manager after a cloud of uncertainty.
The report said Astros owner Jim Crane plans to offer Baker a contract extension within the coming days.
Baker and general manager James Click aren't yet under contract. Several top players are free agents. Despite all of this, oddsmakers still expect the Astros to be one of the favorites to win it all next season.
Baker is not thinking of calling it quits, even if he is the oldest manager to ever win a title.
"I've always said if I win one, I want to win two," he said.
