A.J. Hinch, Jeff Luhnow Suspensions Won't Leak Into 2021
5 years agoFormer Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow will fulfill their one-season suspensions for the team's sign-stealing scandal even if no baseball is played in 2020 due to the coronavirus, according to sources. Hinch and Luhnow were banned for a year and fired in January after MLB investigated the Astros using cameras to steal signs during the regular season and playoffs in 2017 and 2018. Further violations by Hinch and Luhnow would result in them being put on MLB's permanently ineligible list. Even though both men will be allowed back in baseball following the 2020 World Series, it remains to be seen if another organization will give them a second chance.
