MLB hands down unprecedented punishment in Astros sign-stealing case, banning GM Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch for a year.
Houston Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch each were suspended for one year for their roles in a sign-stealing scandal that also will cost the Astros their top two picks in the next two drafts and a $5-million fine.
In case the organization seemed almost too mechanized to love, or too aloof to understand, they led with Hinch, the former catcher turned manager. He stood on the top step of a dugout that held some of the game’s finest players. Jose Altuve was MVP of the American League in 2017. Alex Bregman was top five the next two seasons. Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole were, if not the best two pitchers in the league, close enough.
The issue had become personal for Manfred in September 2017, three years into his tenure as commissioner. He’d just fined the Boston Red Sox after determining they had used an Apple watch to steal catchers’ signs from the New York Yankees. He reminded teams then that electronic means of sign stealing were illegal and would not be tolerated.
