A.J. Hinch can now say he knows how it feels to have his sign stolen.
The former manager of the Houston Astros remains a free agent after the Chicago White Sox opted to fill their manager position by coaxing Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa out of retirement, but one flub on Thursday seemed to indicate the team was quite interested in Hinch.
Specifically, the team sent out an email announcing La Russa’s hiring, but with Hinch’s signature, as one fan noted on Twitter.
Other fans have said they received an email with the same error.
