Sources: Astros promoting Joe Espada from bench coach to manager

The Houston Astros are hiring Joe Espada as their manager following Dusty Baker’s retirement, turning to their longtime bench coach as they look to continue a record-setting run of seven consecutive American League Championship Series appearances, sources confirmed to ESPN on Sunday.

An official announcement is expected Monday.

This puts huge pressure on MLB as Espada was the minority guy on all the manager slates. I'm not sure where they will turn now.

Carlos Mendoza and Ron Washington were hired too. Will Venable and Kai Correa are still hot non-white managerial candidates, plus Carlos Beltran if he ever wants to manage and heck, there is talk Yadi Molina could manage soon.
