Astros Fire Hinch and Luhnow Over Sign Stealing Scandal
Astros manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow were fired after MLB suspended them for the team’s sign stealing using a center-field camera during the 2017 and 2018 seasons. Commissioner Manfred cited Hinch’s failure to act and Luhnow’s responsibility, with Boston’s Cora also under investigation. The team was fined 5 million and lost two first and second round picks. Crane pledged a clean slate.
