Houston manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow were suspended for the entire season Monday, Jan. 13, 2020, and the team was fined $5 million for sign-stealing by the team in 2017 and 2018 season. Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the discipline and strongly hinted that current Boston manager Alex Cora â€” the Astros bench coach in 2017 â€” will face punishment later. Manfred said Cora developed the sign-stealing system used by the Astros. (AP Photo/Matt Slocum, File) NY158 NY158
