Fresh off of his first career World Series victory as manager, Dusty Baker will return to the Astros in 2023, the team announced on Wednesday afternoon.
“The Astros have signed manager Dusty Baker to a one-year contract for the 2023 season, Astros Owner and Chairman Jim Crane announced today,” the team’s statement reads. “Additional terms of the deal were not disclosed.”
Baker and Crane are set to speak to the media shortly after the announcement.
Houston went 106–56 during the regular season, winning the AL West. Baker’s club was dominant in the playoffs, sweeping the Mariners and Yankees before beating the Phillies in six games in the World Series.
