Latest Houston Astros rumors point to internal changes after World Series
The Astros have been in the news recently because manager Dusty Baker and GM James Click do not currently have contracts for next season. Well now things are getting a little more serious, at least for James Click, as rumors are coming out linking the Astros and former Astros assistant GM Daniel Stearns who worked under then GM, Jeff Luhnow.
That Jim Crane has wanted David Stearns back in Houston has circulated around the game for a month. Great job with authority and some ownership stake

Stearns joined the Brewers organization in 2015 and recently stepped down from his role as President of Baseball Operations. Is he next in line to take over after the season?
Check out the video above as we address the rumor, and praise owner Jim Crane for not being satisfied even after making it to back-to-back World Series. Unlike the Yankees organization that already decided to bring back their GM and manager after flaming out in the playoffs once again.
