Now that the offseason has arrived, the fall and/or winter likely will bring an update in some form from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas on the criminal investigation into the Cardinals’ unauthorized access of Astros information — the hacking scandal that involved the Astros’ database named “Ground Control.”
Federal investigators continued to gather information in September and October, according to people familiar with the situation who are unauthorized to speak publicly about it.
The Cardinals in midseason fired Chris Correa, who was the team’s director of scouting, in connection with the scandal. His lawyer denied wrongdoing.
