Major League Baseball suspends Houston Astros general manager and manager one year, fines team $5 million in sign-stealing scandal
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred on Monday suspended Houston Astros Manager A.J. Hinch and General Manager Jeff Luhnow for one year each without pay for their roles in the team’s extensive sign-stealing scheme from 2017 — an unprecedented penalty that reflects the sport’s shock and disgust at a scandal that goes to the heart of its integrity.
The investigation eventually spread to the 2018 Boston Red Sox, whose Manager Alex Cora, formerly the bench coach for the 2017 Astros, could also face significant discipline.The Astros’ actions “has caused fans, players, executives at other MLB Clubs and members of the media to raise questions about the integrity of games in which the Astros participated,” Manfred said in a statement announcing MLB’s findings.
