I’m not used to leading with general MLB news, but yesterday brought the first of the fallout from events that have permanently scarred the integrity of the game. The suspensions and subsequent firings of Houston GM Jeffrey Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch for their lack of oversight and alleged participation in the Astros’ sign stealing scandal was THE news of the day, not just for professional baseball, but sports in general.
There’s not much more for me to write that hasn’t been written elsewhere, but I can give you my opinions on the matter.
