With the uncertainty surrounding if there will be a baseball season in 2020, and if so, how long that season will be, one question was regarding the fates of former Houston Astros manager AJ Hinch and GM Jeff Luhnow. Both were suspended for the 2020 season and subsequently fired for their failure to stop the team’s sign stealing, but what would happen to their suspensions if there were no 2020 season?
As it turns out, their suspensions will be considered by MLB to be fulfilled in 2020 even if no season is played.
