Blue Jays hire former Astros GM James Click for prominent front-office role

The Toronto Blue Jays added some serious World Series experience to the front office, hiring former Astros GM James Click on Monday.

With Click as Houston's general manager from 2020-2022, the perennially contending Astros captured two American League West titles, made it to three consecutive NL Championship Series, and earned a spot in back-to-back World Series — winning it all in 2022.

Toronto plans to lean on Click's experience, expertise and winning pedigree as the franchise enters another season with championship aspirations.

"Click will join the Baseball Operations leadership team, working closely with General Manager Ross Atkins and department heads on strategic planning, decision making, and evaluation," a statement from the Blue Jays said.
