The Houston Astros are bringing back manager Dusty Baker on a one-year deal, the team announced Friday.

Baker, 72, led the Astros to the World Series in 2021 after taking over the team before the 2020 season.

"He's done a great job this last year," owner Jim Crane said. "Great in the locker room, great with the fans, great with the media. We're very, very excited to have him back."
