The report said that Crane brought in former MLB sluggers Jeff Bagwell and Reggie Jackson — the latter of whom had no affiliation with the Astros — as influential front office voices. The owner was said to have nixed a deal with the Cubsthat would’ve landed star catcher Willson Contreras before this past season’strade deadline, and to have personally negotiated relief pitcher Rafael Montero’s three-year, $34.5 million deal to return to the team.

根據ESPN Jeff Passan的一篇針對太空人老闆Jim Crane長文

內容有提到，Crane今年替制服組引進了兩位退役球員Jeff Bagwell、Reggie Jackson

這兩人在球團的話語權很大

以下是Jeff Passan原文

Crane, sources said, felt coming into the 2022 season that the team needed more"baseball men" involved in operations decisions and invited Hall of Famers JeffBagwell and Reggie Jackson into the team's weekly senior baseball-operations meetings. Crane, sources said, killed an agreed-upon deal for Chicago Cubs catcherWillson Contreras at the trade deadline. Crane, sources said, this week personally negotiated the three-year, $34.5 million contract that brought reliever Rafael Montero back to the team -- a deal that was widely seen in the industry as a hefty price to give a 32-year-old with only one good full big league season.

根據情報指出

1.老闆認為制服組內需要多一點棒球人→今年引進Jeff Bagwell、Reggie Jackson
2.否決掉Willson Contreras交易案
3.Rafael Montero那張$34.5M合約是老闆親自下去談的

“Sometimes I wonder if [Crane] thinks he’s Jerry Jones,” one Astros employee
told Passan.

Jones has long served as the Dallas Cowboys’general manager and is known to participate prominently in player personnel decisions.

一位太空人員工表示Jim Crane

好像把自己當成達拉斯牛仔老闆Jerry Jones(老闆兼任球隊GM)

Crane apparently preferred the managerial style of former GM Jeff Luhnow, who was said to be more head-sure about all his decisions, demonstrating what one of Passan’s sources characterized as “institutional arrogance, which Jim actuallythought was an admirable thing.”

Crane比較喜歡前GM Jeff Luhnow的做事風格

As far as the former ballplayers, Bagwell was critical of the team’s farm system — which developed bourgeoning superstar Jeremy Peña.

“Jim might trust [Bagwell] more than anyone,” one person said. Jackson was allegedly prone to outbursts at front office staff, for which he would later apologize.

非常信任Jeff Bagwell

但Bagwell對於太空人的農場是持批評態度

此外Reggie Jackson蠻常會對FO發脾氣的

The crescendo of the situation was when Crane offered Click a “perfunctory” one-year contract, at a slight raise, which was seen as an “insult” around baseball for a man of Click’s accomplishments.

最終老闆開了一個敷衍的小幅加薪一年合約給James Click

這對於Click達成的成就是一大羞辱
