Detroit Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd is sending a message of forgiveness to new manager AJ Hinch, who is still scrutinized for his role in the 2017 Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal.
The plot led to Hinch's year-long MLB suspension and firing.
On Friday, the Tigers announced him as the team's next manager, replacing Ron Gardenhire after his September retirement.
Understanding that "everybody makes mistakes," Boyd is ready to pitch for Hinch, and he isn't upset by the hire. More than anything, Boyd is ready to move on from the subject of sign-stealing and focus on winning.
