The Astros have fired Assistant General Manager Brandon Taubman.
The team has finally admitted that Taubman's pro-Osuna comments after last Sunday's game were, in fact, directed at three female reporters. The team also stated that Taubman's conduct "does not reflect the values of our organization".
However, the Astros have still not issued an apology to Stephanie Apstein of Sports Illustrated, after falsely accusing her of "fabricat[ing] a story where one does not exist". The team's most recent (and third) statement on this matter (released Thursday afternoon) reads, in part:
Our initial investigation led us to believe that Brandon Taubman's inappropriate comments were not directed toward any reporter.
