Houston Astros owner Jim Crane responded quickly to the verdict of guilty dispensed by Baseball Commissioner Manfred resulting in a one-year suspension to his manager A.J. Hinch and GM Jeff Luhnow – both were fired by Crane. Unless you have resided in North Korea, this is the result of the Astros concerted effort to electronically pilfer signs of the opposition. Next up to face the executioner is Red Sox manager Alex Cora.
Cora was industrious enough to take his 2017 involvement as Houston’s bench coach and inner circle sign-stealing accomplice tactics to Boston.
