Former Astros manager A.J. Hinch isn’t dismissing the idea that Houston’s 2017 World Series championship has been tainted by the sign-stealing scandal that cost him his job. “It’s a fair question,” Hinch said in an interview with MLB Network. Unfortunately, we opened that door.”Manfred’s report noted the cheating was “player-driven” and that Hinch did not support it, but also said Hinch didn’t share that disapproval with players. Speaking at baseball’s owners meetings Thursday, Manfred said he was not disappointed no players had apologized.
