Hinch is currently in charge of the Detroit Tigers. He managed the Houston Astros between 2015-2019 and had success during those seasons. Under his guidance, the Astros won the World Series in 2017.

Hinch never finished a season below .500 with the Astros and completed five seasons with a .594 winning percentage (481-329). Jeff Luhnow was the brains behind the operations.

He is still highly regarded in Houston for his business acumen and savy moves in the trade market. It doesn't hurt that he brought the organization their first ever World Series title. The latest talk of a return for Hinch and Luhnow seems strange considering the Houston Astros are currently in first place in the American League.

of the Houston Astros in the dugout against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park Dusty Baker and James Click, who were brought in to replace Hinch and Luhnow, have done a fine job of steadying the ship. Through all the chaos and controversy, the Astros have remained competitive in the AL.

Although the veteran manager has done an exemplary job with the team, he has not provided any long-term guarantees that he will stick around. The roster is filled with talented stars in their prime.

Houston may want to look at hiring a younger manager/GM combination to lead the team over the coming years. Owner Jim Crane will have a difficult decision that could make or break this franchise's future.

While the Baker/Click combination works for the organization, why make a change? The return of Hinch and Luhnow will obviously stir up emotions around the league and add more pressure on the field.
