When Brodie Van Wagenen was looking for a manager this off-season, there was lot of talk his first choice was Astros manager A.J. Hinch. Well, Hinch is no longer the Astros manager. So it is fair to ask if Van Wagenen will return to his old friend.
Maybe “old friend” does not do their relationship justice. They were roommates at Stanford, and Van Wagenen was Hinch’s best man at his wedding. So they are really, really good pals.
Let’s face it, Van Wagenen did not want to hire Luis Rojas.
