Astros Owner Gives Update On GM Search

Astros GM Situation

Click’s dismissal was a surprise to everybody around Major League Baseball.

After taking over GM duties in 2020, Click helped guide the Astros to three straight ALCS appearances and back-to-back World Series berths.

Houston of course won this year, but all of his success had come after the Astros had been caught stealing signs.

He brought positive change to the Astros organization after the scandal soured their reputation.

But that didn’t stop Crane from making the decision to let him go.

Crane though is still in the process of searching for a new general manager.

For now, Assistant GM Bill Firkus is filling the role.

It’s possible that the Astros could promote him to the role.

David Stearns, who recently stepped down from his position as president of baseball operations for the Milwaukee Brewers, is also available.
