BALTIMORE — The Astros don’t make their first visit to The Bronx until Tuesday, but their former manager, A.J. Hinch, will be there Friday with the Tigers.
Hinch lost his job and served a one-year suspension in 2020 for his role in Houston’s sign-stealing scandal during their 2017 championship season, and Aaron Boone — a longtime friend of Hinch’s — said again Thursday he’s “done” with the subject, but he knows not everyone is.
“I’m sure he’s gonna face the fans chirping or yelling or whatever throughout [the season],” Boone said. “I guess that’s to be expected. But I don’t think it’s too big of an issue.”
And it definitely isn’t for Boone.
“I would say I am done with that and put [it] behind me,” Boone said before the Yankees faced the Orioles Thursday at Camden Yards. “He’s had to pay a price for that. I, as most of us have, tried to move on and leave it at that.”
