BOSTON — Major League Baseball has announced steep punishments for the Houston Astros in response to allegations that the team, “engaged in sign-stealing methods,” in the team’s 2017 season, where they went on to win the World Series.
In a 9-page statement from Commissioner Rob Manfred, the MLB suspended Astros manager A.J. Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow for a full season beginning on January 13, 2020 and continuing through the end of the 2020 World Series.
Former Assistant GM Brandon Taubman is considered, “ineligible to perform services on behalf of any Major League Club,” through the end of the 2020 season. He will have to apply to Commissioner Manfred for reinstatement after that point.
