A look at the notable moments during James Click's tenure as Astros general manager that ended Friday after three seasons.
— Click, after 14 years in Tampa Bay’s front office, is named the Astros’ general manager three weeks after Jeff Luhnow was suspended one year by MLB and then fired by owner Jim Crane in the wake of the sanctions for the 2017-18 sign-stealing operation. He inherits a new manager in Dusty Baker, who was hired five days earlier.— Click’s first season as Astros GM begins after a four-month suspension because of the coronavirus pandemic.
— After the 99-day owners’ lockout ends, star shortstop Carlos Correa leaves the Astros to sign a three-year, $105 million contract with Minnesota that includes a pair of opt-out clauses. Rookie Jeremy Peña takes over for Correa.— The Astros and designated hitter Yordan Alvarez agree to a six-year, $115 million extension that keeps him in Houston through the 2028 season.
— The Astros wrap up their fifth division title in six seasons, coincidentally in Click’s old Tampa Bay stomping grounds. The team finishes with 106 wins, one shy of the franchise record set in 2019.
