A curious revelation from a revered Astros icon might have revealed the cause of a chasm between James Click and his former employer.
Crane sent Firkus and Bagwell to Miami to finish Abreu’s contract, the latest example of Bagwell’s increasing importance within the organization. Asked twice Tuesday whether he wants to be Houston’s general manager, Bagwell said he did not. Bagwell said he would not interview for the job, either.
Click's departure following the World Series had little precedent in baseball's modern era, but months of simmering discontent and philosophical differences between him and Crane made the move unsurprising. Analytics built the Astros into a budding dynasty, but it’s worth wondering if Bagwell’s growing influence on Crane might shift the franchise back toward a blended approach.
