Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch were each suspended without pay for the 2020 season. The organization was also docked their first and second round draft picks for both 2020 and 2021 and fined $5 million.
An hour after MLB's handed down its punishments, Astros owner Jim Crane announced both Luhnow and Hinch had been let go.
With all of this, the Championship still counts. The World Series title still belongs to the Houston Astros.
Punishment should’ve included their World Series title be revoked. If this is the price of winning a Championship, I could see more teams doing it. https://t.co/k1EFjvb40V

Listen to the audio clip as the Midday Show with Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael debate that question.
