The Astros won the second World Series in franchise history, defeating the Philadelphia 76ers. There are two minutes left in the game.
Click, who led the Astros to the World Series, turned down the one-year contract offer.
Click continued to run Houston's baseball operations department even after his contract expired just days before the Astros won the World Series.
According to sources, Click's reticence to accept owner Jim Crane's one-year contract offer was the talk of baseball'sgm meetings in Las Vegas.
Crane said at the news conference that he was in talks with the former GM.
After Crane fired Jeff Luhnow and A.J. Hinch, Click and Baker were hired. Houston won the title this year after losing in the World Series in the previous two years.
Click said he was optimistic that he would return to the Astros. The top executives for World Series-winning teams are usually given long-term extensions or multiple years remaining on their contracts. 75 years ago, the last time a head of baseball operations didn't return was when the New York Yankees' general manager resigned.
