According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Dusty Baker, the manager of the Houston Astros, told team owner Jim Crane on Tuesday afternoon in a private meeting that he was retiring from the position of manager.
At a press conference scheduled for Thursday at noon at Minute Maid Park, Dusty Baker is anticipated to formally announce his retirement from the team.
Through Nightengale, Baker stated, “I’m very grateful and thankful to Jim Crane and the Houston Astros for giving me this opportunity, and to win a championship.” They seemed to be doing well for me, and I seemed to be doing well for them. The fact that Jim has been completely open and truthful with me about everything is something I truly value.
According to Nightengale, Baker stated, “I’ve still got a lot to offer; baseball has been in my life.” “I know a lot more about this game than people who have never played it,” the player said.
In 2024, the Astros will need to find a new manager, but Baker had great success during his time in charge. At his press conference on Thursday, it will be a celebration of his career.
