Buster Olney reported on Thursday that A.J. Hinch and Jeff Luhnow will be able to return to baseball when they complete their 1-year suspensions even if baseball isn't played in 2020.
The panel from the SportsMap Roundtable share their thoughts on Olney's report, and discuss the possibility of Hinch returning to manage the Astros in 2021.
The Houston Texans have agreed with four-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Danielle Hunter on a $49 million, two-year contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract can’t become official until the new league year begins Wednesday, said Hunter is getting $48 million guaranteed.
Hunter had a career-best 16 1/2 sacks last season for Minnesota. He’s reached double digits in sacks five times in eight years.
Hunter replaces Jonathan Greenard, who is heading to the Vikings. Hunter will play opposite AP Defensive Rookie of the Year Will Anderson on Houston’s defensive line.
The Texans won the AFC South last season and advance to the divisional round of the playoffs under first-year coach DeMeco Ryans and rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud.
