Outrage that the Houston Astros and Major League Baseball have received from players around the league since the team was found guilty of electronic sign-stealing during their 2017 World Series run has been widespread and seemingly reached a fever pitch in the days before Spring Training games began.
Players, particularly within the Los Angeles Dodgers clubhouse, are understandably upset that they were cheated out of an opportunity to win a World Series, and the league’s integrity as a whole has been called into question.
In exchange for cooperation with the investigation so they could get all of the facts, MLB granted all Astros players immunity from suspension despite it being described as a player-driven scheme.
