After falling in Game 7 of the ALCS on Monday night, the Astros are reportedly preparing for the possibility of losing manager Dusty Baker to retirement this upcoming offseason.
The 74-year-old Baker, who’s been with Houston since 2020, has “expressed to multiple people inside and outside” of the Astros organization that ’23 will be his “final season,” according to a Monday report from The Athletic.
As of Monday night, it’s unclear if Baker informed Houston of his reported desire during the series or Game 7. However, the report also noted Baker, an 18-year MLB veteran who earned his first managerial role in 1993, may not leave the game entirely as he “wants to remain in the game in some capacity.”
