The Houston Astros were at the center of controversy last year after Major League Baseball determined the organization electronically stole signs over the course of the 2017 season.
Punishment was levied by commissioner Rob Manfred at the completion of his three-month investigation, which included a $5 million fine, the loss of future draft picks, and former general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch each being suspended for the entire 2020 season.
Many players understandably were not happy with the outcome, as they lashed out against the league for the weak response — particularly for granting members of the Astros immunity.
