Former Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch sat down with the MLB Network’s Tom Verducci for his first interview since he was fired for cheating his way to a World Series victory in 2017.

The full interview will air on Friday evening, but the MLB Network did share a clip of Hinch being asked in Houston’s 2017 championship was tainted.
