In case you’ve been living in a trash can for the last few days, the Astros are in need of a new manager to replace AJ Hinch. The World Series-winning skipper was canned after MLB suspended him for a year as the result of his role in doing absolutely nothing to stop a player-driven sign-stealing ring. Even if you argue that Hinch smashed the monitor they used, he otherwise turned a blind eye rather than saying anything.
So Houston is now engaged in a search for their new manager, which could have them calling the Cubs for permission to interview third base coach Will Venable.
