MLB suspends the Houston Astros' manager and GM for a year for using technology to steal signs in the 2017 season
Major League Baseball has suspended Houston Astros manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow without pay for one season after an investigation found the team used video to steal signs during their 2017 championship season, Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr., announced Monday.
The suspensions, which last through the 2020 World Series, are among a series of penalties based on the sign-stealing accusations. The team has to forfeit its regular first- and second-round selections in 2020 and 2021 drafts and pay a $5 million fine. MLB rules prohibit the use of electronic devices to steal signs.There is no evidence Astros owner Jim Crane was aware of the conduct, Manfred said in a statement.
