I think Hinch will end up managing again. Might not be right, but teams always find ways to justify hiring people who will help them win, and Hinch was apparently an observor who didn't like it, but didn't do anything. In a couple of years a GM will use that as an excuse to hire him.
Also, I think Beltran losing his Mets manager job was actually a reward for him. JK of course. I think losing that job because of his scandal actions as a player, could open the floodgates for more players facing repercussions. The problem with the whole thing is that MLB teams have always cheated as much as they could get away with, so I believe the Astros are the tip of the iceberg, the Red Sox could be the tip of a yet higher iceberg, and after that the icebergs will just keep on melting.
Everyone remembers the 2001 story revealing Bobby Thompson getting the sign for the home run pitch sent to him, originating by telescope. That's not much different.
