Houston general manager Jeff Luhnow, who was fired Monday, issued the following statement in the wake of the video scandal that has engulfed the Astros. In it, he takes a shot at Red Sox manager Alex Cora, who was the bench coach with Houston when the incidents allegedly occurred.
Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch were suspended for the 2020 season by Commissioner Rob Manfred on Monday. Shortly after, the Astros announced that both men had been fired.
“Neither one of them started this, but neither one of them did anything about it,’’ said Astros owner Jim Crane.
