John McClain: Was Ausmus Always Bagwell’s Pick For Astros Manager?

John McClain tells Shaun and PC he thinks Jeff Bagwell made the call on Brad Ausmus, and that asking new GM Randy Flores whether he had a problem with Ausmus suggests the Astros planned to hire him all along. McClain says he’s glad they hired someone with experience, wouldn’t have minded Morgan Ensberg, would have liked a Rangers coach, and respects Albert Pujols. He’d also love to see AJ Hinch get another shot in Houston someday, and Carlos Correa or Martín Maldonado manage the Astros one day.
