The Houston Astros named James Click as their new general manager on Monday night.
Click, 42, comes to the Astros from the Tampa Bay Rays, where he was vice president of baseball operations.
The site says Click also assisted in player evaluation, roster configuration and deployment, contract negotiation and staff management.
Click, a Yale graduate, had been promoted to director of baseball research and development after joining the Rays in 2006 as a coordinator in baseball ops.
He replaces Jeff Luhnow, the architect of the Astros' 2017 World Series championship team.
The title has since been marred by an electronic sign-stealing scandal, which resulted in Luhnow's and manager A.J. Hinch's year-long suspensions and firings.
